For most of human history, we have lived our daily lives in a close
relationship with the land. Yet now, for the first time, more
people are living in urban rather than rural areas, bringing about
an estrangement. This book, by acclaimed author Jules Pretty, is
fundamentally about our relationship with nature, animals and
places. A series of interlinked essays leads readers on a voyage
that weaves through the themes of connection and estrangement
between humans and nature. The journey shows how our modern
lifestyles and economies would need six or eight Earths if the
entire world s population adopted our profligate ways. Pretty shows
that we are rendering our own world inhospitable and so risk losing
what it means to be human: unless we make substantial changes, Gaia
threatens to become Grendel. Ultimately, however, the book offers
glimpses of an optimistic future for humanity, in the very face of
climate change and pending global environmental catastrophe.
