Rejecting Francis Bacon's notion that the purpose of science is to control Nature, Stan Rowe presents a collection of essays advocating companioning with Nature. First released in 1990, the essays in 'Home Place' range from the personal -- the search for a childhood vision of pristine grassland, the boy who goes from hunting to respecting wildlife and the living space around him -- to theory on land use, environmental law, agriculture, education, and technology as it affects the relationships between humanity and the Ecosphere.

Comedy drama following an old man with onset Rigours Disease, which inevitably turns its sufferers into zombies. With the rise of the disease, a group of local hardmen have been taking out its many victims. When the elderly Harold (Stan Rowe) begins to get stiff, a symptom of Rigours, nurse Penny (Sarah Spencer) comes to care for him, helping to slow down his deteriorating condition. As Harold and Penny find friendship with one another, however, the signs of his illness become more prominent. Is he destined to meet the same end as all the other zombies?

This is a collection of thought-provoking essays, short pieces, and reviews that explore and uncover the intimate connections between humans and the Earth. Through a strong mix of proof and irony, respected ecologist Stan Rowe re-examines the concept of living with - not against - the Earth. In "Earth Alive", Rowe prompts us to think in revolutionary terms about developing a new worldview, and living more responsibly on our increasingly damaged planet. This innovative collection gives hope for restoring diversity on Earth - which Rowe points to as the only true path to sustainability. Let "Earth Alive" guide you toward the beauty of the planet we call home, and through the eyes of the author see its infinite source for inspiration.
