TRUSTS
LOW
/ OUT OF STOCK |
Thirty original essays from a diverse group of leading writers including
Wendell Berry, Gary Paul Nabhan, Frederick Turner, Mary Catherine Bateson,
and Yvon Chouinard celebrating the responsible maintenance of our finite
resources.
Some of our finest nature writers.
They reveal a marvelous variety
of motivations for stewardship as an approach to living in nature. Sacred Trusts is a book that will excite you to awe and sadness
and anger, and finally to a renewed sense of responsibility for our action
and life on earth. This is a wonderful book. This book bangs away at the undeniable seriousness of the situation
of our land, and our country, slipping away from beneath us. These essays
are not preaching to the converted. They are essays of hope and passion
and meaning, and they can make a difference. All of the essays are new and previously unpublished: contributors include Bill McKibben, John Murray, John Gierach, Jack Turner, Dan O'Brien, Thomas Lyon, John Nichols, Jack Hemingway, Dan Gerber, Stephen Bodil, Kris Hardin, and others. Each essay is accompanied by an original illustration by Russell Chatham, who also did the cover painting, making this a beautiful as well as an eloquent, wise, and inspirational collection. |
