Notes, Appendix: Selected List of Contributors to Spiritual Ecology, Bibliography“This is a subject that should have been documented long ago—this wise and careful book fills an important gap, and does it with real power.”
Bill McKibben, author Eaarth
“This book is a tour de force. No one has attempted to bring together such a wide range of people and movements under the rubric of Spiritual Ecology. The result is deeply engaging for scholars and activists alike. Sponsel has given us a gem.”
Mary Evelyn Tucker, Forum on Religion and Ecology, Yale University
“Sponsel, a noted scholar of ecological anthropology, traces a broad, ecumenical religion of nature’ from deep roots in the past to modern advanced thinkers. He argues persuasively that we would not have an environmental crisis today if we treated the earth with respect and reverence. The book offers a fascinating tour through the spiritual landscape, and its extensive notes give readers a rich guide to further reading and reflection.”
Donald Worster, author of A Passion for Nature: The Life of John Muir
