Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Moore grew up in a logging camp at the water's edge on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, following in the footsteps of his father, working for a logging company. Moore knew only this logging camp for his first 15 years before being sent off to a boarding school in the nearby woods, and then on to the University of British Columbia, where eight years later, still in view of the surrounding trees, he emerged with a Ph.D. in forestry.Through his first-hand research among the trees, more than through his coursework, Moore learned of many destructive forestry practices and spoke out against them, often to the detriment of future career opportunities. That led him to form the activist group Greenpeace, where he worked tirelessly to save the environment from ignorance.Radical environmentalists use forests as a sledgehammer in their efforts to stem human progress. Many convey the simplistic and incorrect impression that the choice is between preservation and devastation. We are told the trees that grow back after logging are inferior to the old ones.In fact, the new forests that grow are as diverse and beautiful as the ones they replace. Moore explains how forests have recovered through time from fire, ice, wind, volcanic eruption, disease, and human disturbance.He writes, "The only way to stop forests from growing back is by purposefully interfering with the process of renewal, by plowing the land every year and planting crops, by setting so many livestock on it they eat every tree seedling that tries to grow, or by covering the land with cement buildings." A case in point: in 1900 Vermont was so heavily farmed that only 35 percent of its land area was covered by forests. Today, a full 76 percent of the state is forest.Moore details the life cycles of forests and the waste of letting them die and rot of old age, and he even tackles the spiritual qualities most of us feel while in a forest. He concludes with precise opinions on forest management--including a brilliant explanation of the value of clear-cutting as a productive means of serving the industry, forest preservation, and mankind.No one has ever tackled this taboo subject as well. Clear-cutting is good for the forest at the right time and place, safest for the loggers, and most productive for society. Trees do grow back, better than ever.Moore offers an excellent tutorial that will enable readers to educate friends and family who might support, in a knee-jerk reaction, making all "old trees" off-limits.pp. 151 illusts #0821 Signed by Author.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'All Our Relations' celebrates and honours human beings' relationships with all those other life forms who share our planetary home. How we treat these 'fellow-travellers, ' how we perceive them and interact with them - and the extent to which we love and respect them - is a measure of our humanity and our spiritual evolution. The greater our appreciation for other creatures, the more they give to us, the more they teach us and the more joy and inspiration they bring into our lives.Contributors to the book include scientists, researchers, poets, authors, health practitioners and others. Here you will find discussions ranging from the merits of vegetarianism to the problem of linguistic 'speciesism.' You will read about dogs who know when their humans are coming home and be encouraged to rediscover your own inherent, animal 'knowing.' Above all, you will almost certainly delight in the first-person accounts of life-changing interactions with members of other species, from snakes to horses, from dogs to oak trees and from huge whales to baby frogs.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 'Rivers of Green Wisdom' the author shares personal reflections on Christian, Yogic and Earth-centred wisdom and key stages encountered on his own spiritual journey. This book unveils central teachings about the sacredness of Earth and Nature, covers both past and present understanding about our interdependent relationship with the natural world, and how various teachers have looked for East-West fusions for deeper and more responsible living. There are important insights within the five detailed chapters, along with informative passages about contemporary prophets and mystics who have been influential in promoting relevant wisdom for our times. Overall, 'Rivers of Green Wisdom' highlights essential challenges we need to embrace in order to move forward skilfully and build a harmonious and sustainable Earth community that compassionately cares about the diversity of life our Earth-Mother has sought to celebrate. REVIEWS 'Overall, this is a heart-warming book where I learnt a good deal about Earth-based spirituality through the lens of different traditions. I felt that my spirituality is not some made-up modern quirk but something that is deeply rooted in, and belongs to, the ongoing spiritual evolution of our collective human journey.' - Ian Mowll, Interfaith Foundation Minister and the coordinator of GreenSpirit. 'From his many years of deep immersion in the Yogic, Christian and Earth-based traditions, Santoshan skilfully expresses in this book, the feeling tone of each of these three spiritual movements. He explains how they blend, how they relate to each other and how they share a common thread of love and the sanctity of all life. Seldom do you find such practised clarity in revealing the wisdom of Spirit.' - Sky McCain, Vedantist and author of 'Planet as Self: An Earthen Spirituality.' ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Santoshan (Stephen Wollaston) studied world religions at King's College London, is a Psychosynthesis counsellor, a OneSpirit Interfaith minister, a member of GreenSpirit's publications team, and an author, coauthor and editor of over a dozen books, including 'Spirituality Unveiled: Awakening to Creative Life'.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Everyone has a life story. Cultures too have stories about how the world and its creatures came into being. We call those 'mere myths' but had nothing to put in their place until science gave us the contemporary story of our Universe. This book retells that awesome story, the span of which covers billions of years of evolution, and considers its implications for the future development of human consciousness.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Many of us have heard about the science of climate change and may have wondered how it causes turbulent weather conditions, particularly flooding. You may have wondered what can be done about it on an individual level and how to inspire a difference in the way we humans live.This book is about people's personal stories of flooding, produced by extreme weather conditions. By listening to people's experiences, we become aware that the problem of climate change is immediate, affecting us today. Also, by listening to people's positive experiences of downshifting, we can learn that combating climate change can be beneficial for the environment, leading to a more fulfilled life because downshifting can result in reduced carbon emissions and a simpler way of living.
