Description and Table of Contents
Description
Ecologies of the Heart offers a highly readable new look at the range of approaches we use in thinking about environmental management. In answering the questions of why people hold beliefs about the environment that are `counterfactual' - against the facts - to modern scientists, often making ecological choices on emotional grounds, the book shows that these beliefs are understandable and have an empirical basis in solving the world ecological crisis.
Eugene Anderson argues that although no one person is going to solve the world ecological crisis single-handedly, it will never be solved unless we recognize the problem presented by beliefs that are plausible but inadequate.
