For more than three decades, David Orr has been one of the leading
voices of the environmental movement, championing the cause of
ecological literacy in higher education, helping to establish and
shape the field of ecological design, and working tirelessly to
raise awareness of the threats to future generations posed by
humanity's current unsustainable trajectory. "Hope Is an
Imperative" brings together in a single volume Professor Orr's most
important works, including classics such as "What Is Education
For?" one of the most widely reprinted essays in the environmental
literature, "The Campus and the Biosphere", which helped launch the
green campus movement, and "Loving Children: A Design Problem",
which renowned theologian and philosopher Thomas Berry called 'the
most remarkable essay I've read in my whole life'. The book
features thirty-three essays, along with an introductory section
that considers the evolution of environmentalism, section
introductions that place the essays into a larger context, and a
foreword by physicist and author Fritjof Capra. "Hope Is an
Imperative" is a comprehensive collection of works by one of the
most important thinkers and writers of our time. It offers a
complete introduction to the writings of David Orr for readers new
to the field, and represents a welcome compendium of key essays for
long-time fans. The book is a must-have volume for every
environmentalist's bookshelf.
