Riding the Wind: Liberation Ecology for a New Era

Description

Exploring our strengths and possibilities, this work seeks to present the ideas and values needed to ride the winds of change in the new millennium. It provides a philosophy for a new era, called liberation ecology, a vision which combines ancient wisdom and modern insights.

Peter Marshall , Ph.D., is a philosopher, traveller, and full-time writer. He has a doctorate in the History of Ideas, and has taught philosophy and literature at several British universities.

"Riding the Wind is a well-written and accessible work. It makes a strong statement of Peter Marshall's important and distinctive position in contemporary ecological thought. The book deserves to be read and discussed widely." --John Clark, Professor of Philosophy, Loyla University "Marshall's sense of the beauty and wildness in nature, of the sacredness of natural life and of the wisdoms of the Eastern mystics are, of course, important considerations in a world which is increasingly mad with competition, dominance, neo-imperialism, and profit. And any reasonable person would applaud his efforts to promulgate the importance of this sense of nature's sacredness if we are to survive as fully human beings in the twenty-first century." --Arthur J.
