"The Sacred Balance has a beautiful spirit."--E.O. Wilson
With a new foreword from Robin Wall Kimmerer, New York
Times-bestselling author of **Braiding Sweetgrass--and an
afterword from Bill McKibben--this special 25th anniversary edition of a
beloved bestseller invites readers to see ourselves as part of
nature, not separate.
The world is changing at a relentless pace. How can we slow down and act
from a place of respect for all living things? The Sacred Balance
shows us how.
In this extensively updated new edition, David Suzuki reflects on the
increasingly radical changes in science and nature--from the climate
crisis to peak oil and the rise in clean energy--and examines what they
mean for humankind. He also reflects on what we have learned by
listening to Indigenous leaders, whose knowledge of the natural world is
profound, and whose peoples are on the frontlines of protecting land and
water around the world.
Drawing on his own experiences and those of others who have put their
beliefs into action, The Sacred Balance combines science, philosophy,
spirituality, and Indigenous knowledge to offer concrete suggestions for
creating an ecologically sustainable future by rediscovering and
addressing humanity's basic needs.
