In three powerful essays, three influential writers and thinkers—Scott Russell Sanders, Peter Forbes and Kathleen Dean Moore—explore these questions, giving us new insights into the promise of land conservation in our present world. Edited by Helen Whybrow, Coming to Land in a Troubled World collects poignant thoughts on the work and purpose of conservation.
The essays in Coming To Land tackle esoteric and literal questions surrounding land conservation, exploring the very roots of our perception of ‘land’ itself. In the book’s first essay, Kathleen Dean Moore, points to land not only in the sense of the familiar noun, but also as the verb we use to describe the process of coming home, of ‘landing.’ Kathleen Dean Moore, along with Scott Russell Sanders and Peter Forbes, picks away at a mounting veil of denial and breaks through to the social and psychological implications of our dependence on land.
Through its deep examination of the value of land to our culture and our souls, Coming to Land In a Troubled World becomes a meditation on reconciliation and restoration, love and loss, wholeness and innovation, fairness and community. It gives us new approaches and new hope to work to heal the great divisions and losses we see around us each day.
