#humanecology

"The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”

(1997) The author contemplates ways that a religion grounded in science might be realized: what should be the areas of concern for such a religion? Its values? Its texts? Its myths? Its ceremonies? Some of her answers resonate with me, others don't, and sometimes her critics seem to have stronger points. Still, I'm giving it a Pick for making me think thoughts I hadn't thought before, and for a stroll down a path I find very intriguing.

4⭐️ Overall, I really enjoyed the concept of the book and I wouldn‘t have picked it up if hadn‘t been a #bookclub pick. The final chapter felt a little too much and basically skimmed it. Definitely thought provoking. #2024 #bookclub #bookstagram #nonfiction #memoir #science #environmentalism

1. It‘s not a must, but I do enjoy having a drink when reading.

2. The tagged book with a Coke Zero from a fast food chain this afternoon.

The new sciences of chaos and complexity tell us that a system that is far from stable is a system ripe for change.

I always enjoy well rounded treatments of a topic such as this one where the author combines personal experience on the research end of it with a narration on the science and the cultural impacts. In this book, you‘ll learn how tides are generated, how climate change affects them, how different ages and cultures interpreted them and what they mean to islanders in Panama, monks in France and mudshrimp and migrating sandpipers in Nova Scotia.

Forget everything you think you know about Neanderthals - this book is likely to prove you wrong! (Will explain the racism warning in comments).

It's extremely likely we all have a bit of Neanderthal DNA in us!

jenniferw88 The book (& author) is not itself racist, but it does discuss racist ideas towards the end. Basically Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens > Africans etc. It would be a good book for white supremacists to read. 2y
