The western mindset is arguably one of the greatest threats to the
world's ecological balance. Corporatism and globalization are two
of the obvious villains here, but what part does human nature play
in the problem? Since its inception in 1982, "Orion" magazine has
been a forum for looking beyond the effects of ecological crises to
their root causes in human culture. Less an anthology than a vision
statement, this timely collection challenges the division of human
society from the natural world that has often characterized
traditional environmentalism. Edited and introduced by Barry Lopez,
"The Future of Nature" encompasses such topics as local economies,
the social dynamics of activism, America's incarceration society,
naturalism in higher education, developing nations, spiritual
ecology, the military-industrial landscape, and the persistent
tyranny of wilderness designation. Featuring the fine writing and
insights for which "Orion" is famous, this book is required reading
for anyone interested in a livable future for the planet.
