collective discourse on the human-nature relationship." Laura
Sewall , author of Sight and Sensibility: The Ecopsychology of
Perception
"A Book of Ecological Virtues is a book for our timesto help us
recognize that the extinction crisis we face is a consequence of
seeing ourselves as separate from nature and other beings.
Ecological Virtues is a remembrance that we are of the earth, we
are animals, we are biological beings, nourished by other beings.
Caring for others is our ecological duty and the path to our own
well-being." Vandana Shiva , author of Stolen Harvest and
Reclaiming the Commons "A tour de force [that] addresses morality
and sustainable futures for humanity. Diverse scholarly
perspectives, using a variety of representations, raise issues
concerning transformation of human lifestyles and interactions with
living and nonliving constituents of fragile ecosystems. Educating
a citizenry to act with heightened awareness, compassion, and love
are among issues addressed throughout the book. Also, engaging
critical dialogues around issues such as death and extinction are
raised in a context of how to act courageously, with overt
consciousness and an ethic of giving back. The book is captivating,
thought-provoking, and forward lookingan amazing graduate text, and
an interesting read for a diverse variety of educators,
researchers, and policymakers." Kenneth Tobin , editor of
Mindfulness in Education
