Drawing
from David Suzuki's published and unpublished writings, this collection
reveals the underlying passions and philosophies that have informed his
work over a lifetime. In these incisive and provocative essays, Suzuki
explores the limits of knowledge and the connectedness of all things;
he looks unflinchingly at the destructive forces of globalisation,
political shortsightedness, and greed and cautions against blind faith
in science, technology, politics, and economics.
Here too are
examples of how and where to make those changes that will matter to all
of us and to future generations. David offers a vision of hope based on
our love of children and nature, with inspiring stories about the
people who are making positive environmental and social contributions
to our world.
Here is an important reminder of how we are all
connected and of what really matters. Written with clarity, passion and
wisdom, this book is essential reading for anyone who admires David
Suzuki.
Praise for The Sacred Balance: Rediscovering Our Place in Nature:
For
Suzuki, the requisite wisdom lies in respect for all creation, and in
this important book he makes that case with passion and understanding.
John Polanyi, Nobel laureate
This book is the most complete
expression to date of an environmental ethic from one of the world's
leading conservation writers, combining science, theology, poetry and
philosophy to express a world view toward which the human species must
shift in the twenty-first century. The Sacred Balance has a beautiful
spirit. E.O. Wilson, author of The Diversity of Life.
