"Truth-filled meditations about grace in the face of mortality."
-MargaretAtwood In this powerful little book, two leading
intellectuals illuminate the truth about where our environmental
crisis is taking us. Writing from an island on Canada's Northwest
coast, Robert Bringhurst and Jan Zwicky weigh in on the death of
the planet versus the death of the individual. For Zwicky,
awareness and humility are the foundation of the equanimity with
which Socrates faced his death: he makes a good model when facing
the death of the planet, as well as facing our own mortality.
Bringhurst urges readers to tune their minds to the wild. The wild
has healed the world before, and it is the only thing that stands
any chance of healing the world now -- though it is unlikely to
save Homo sapiens in the process.
