A New Covenant With Nature : Notes on the End of Civilization and the Renewal of Culture
Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
A New Covenant With Nature addresses such vital questions as "Has modern civilization really improved human life?"; "Is money evil?"; "Is government necessary?"; and "What can we each do to renew our connection with all that is wild, generative, and free?". Ecophilosopher Richard Heinberg"s A New Covenant With Nature is a radical and thought-provoking book providing perception and refreshing insight with wit, insight, and well articulated observations. Each culture, Heinberg shows, makes a covenant or agreement with nature. Our culture's agreement is obviously crumbling. If we are to create a new covenant, we must begin by rethinking the gives of society from the ground up, or even, quietly, desert the existing social system and help birth a better. one. A New Covenant With Nature is fascinating, thoughtful, and thought-provoking reading. A "must" for anyone concerned with the problems of the impact on ecology by 20th century industrial, cultural, and political values.
