Humanity is dependent on Nature to survive, yet our society largely
acts as if this is not the case. The energy that powers our very
cells, the nutrients that make up our bodies, the ecosystem
services that clean our water and air; these are all provided by
the Nature from which we have evolved and of which we are a part.
This book examines why we deny or ignore this dependence and what
we can do differently to help solve the environmental crisis.
Written in an accessible and engaging style, Haydn Washington
provides an excellent overview of humanity's relationship with
Nature. The book looks at energy flow, nutrient cycling, ecosystem
services, ecosystem collapse as well as exploring our psychological
and spiritual dependency on nature. It also examines
anthropocentrism and denial as causes of our unwillingness to
respect our inherent dependence on the natural environment. The
book concludes by bringing these issues together and providing a
framework for solutions to the environmental crisis.
