How to confront the climate crisis without losing heart
It's easy to feel overwhelmed in the face of global climate breakdown.
So how might we develop the inner resolve to confront it? Full
Ecology, a collaboration between social-cultural psychologist Mary M.
Clare and longtime science writer Gary Ferguson, suggests a path
forward. Breaking the modern impulse to see humans as separate from
nature, Clare and Ferguson encourage us to learn from the "supremely
methodical and highly improvisational" natural systems that touch our
lives. True change, they argue, begins with us stopping and questioning
assumptions about our place in the world. From this process of
reflection, they offer us an alternative blueprint for acting in
ecologically healthy ways, and for inspiring others to do the same.
Rather than proposing a ten-step plan to save the earth, this book
encourages a more elemental rethinking of our connections to nature, and
of how such connections might be strengthened for the common good.
Practical and poetic, scientific and spiritual, Full Ecology presents
a strong, nourishing foundation for climate action.
