The Earth is alive. And we are utterly and totally dependent upon its remaining alive and self-regulating if we have any hope of surviving as a species. Current approaches to doing the right or useful ecological actions are necessary but not sufficient. We need more than window dressing and superficial action. We have to get deeper into causes of how we got to where we are. The book focuses on that deeper understanding and the transformation needed to really address the ills that affect Gaia.
