Aprašymas

Sanders is one of our finest writers of place, of nature and our place in it. He has won more than a dozen major awards and prizes, including the John Burroughs Medal, the Lannan Prize, the AWP Award in Creative Nonfiction, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Cecil Woods Award from the Fellowship of Southern Writers. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2012. Although diverse in form and subject, these essays are chapters in a single inquiry, for they all address the same core questions: What drives our reckless behavior? How is our violence toward Earth linked to our violence toward one another? How can we curb that violence? How can we begin undoing the damage we have caused? What would a peaceful, sustainable, and just way of life look like, and how might we achieve it? What resources can we draw on--from within ourselves, from our history and culture, and from nature--to aid us in this work? Importantly, Sanders sees imagination as the grounds for empathy, writing, even a partial identification can stir us into sympathy with the suffering of others, and that is the foundation of an ethical life." And perhaps most importantly, imagination lets us care for strangers by being able to envision their suffering or success, specifically that of generations ahead in the future. To wish to improve our planet, we must imagine those who will come after us Sanders' writing examines the human place in nature, the pursuit of social justice, the relation between culture and geography, and the search for a spiritual path. Even if readers are not themselves spiritual, Sanders writes movingly of how art, literature, mortality, lack of abundance, natural sciences, and general curiosity about the world around us might inspire the very big ideas needed to change the tide of climate disaster The title intentionally evokes the ancient idea of a way or path as a guide for living--an idea shared by Taoism, Christianity, Buddhism, and many indigenous religions--and thus the title of many sacred texts Scott lives in rural Indiana Readers for this collection will include nonprofit leaders, corporate responsibility leaders, activists; the climate movement needs inspiration and hope and this book offers such a resource Acquired and edited by Jack Shoemaker; Sanders has long wanted to be published by Counterpoint Press, and together with Shoemaker the pair decided this was the perfect book to bring to the list
