Product Description
divThe western mindset is arguably one of the greatest threats to the world#8217;s ecological balance. Corporatism and globalization are two of the obvious villains here, but what part does human nature play in the problem? Since its inception in 1982, iOrion/i magazine has been a forum for looking beyond the effects of ecological crises to their root causes in human culture. Less an anthology than a vision statement, this timely collection challenges the division of human society from the natural world that has often characterized traditional environmentalism. Edited and introduced by Barry Lopez, iThe Future of Nature/i encompasses such topics as local economies, the social dynamics of activism, America#8217;s incarceration society, naturalism in higher education, developing nations, spiritual ecology, the military-industrial landscape, and the persistent tyranny of wilderness designation. Featuring the fine writing and insights for which iOrion/i is famous, this book is required reading for anyone interested in a livable future for the planet./div
