Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Beautiful and thought-provoking' Cal FlynHow do we raise children in a climate emergency What should we teach them - and what kind of future are we preparing them for Ben Rawlence began writing to his eldest daughter before she was born, trying to understand what it means to bring a child into a world facing ecological breakdown. Over the next twelve years, these letters - written to his two daughters as they grow - chart one father's attempt to live with the central contradiction of our age: raising children within a system that threatens all life, including our own.By turns moving and funny, and always bracingly honest, Think Like a Forest explores love, fear and responsibility in perilous times. Rawlence finds the answers might lie in learning to see the world again through the eyes of a child so that we may embrace interdependence and regain our place in nature. To think like a forest, he shows us, may be the key to how we parent, how we live, and even whether we have a future on our planet at all.'A gift, not just for the author's daughters, but for all of us who want to replace ecocide anxiety with the glimmerings of a better future' Sophy Roberts'A thoughtful, tender way to make a map of new and frightening territory' Jay Griffiths.
