Description or summary of the book: Through much of history our relationship with the earth has been plagued by ambivalence-we not only enjoy and appreciate the forces and manifestations of nature, we seek to plunder, alter, and control them. Here Paul Shepard uncovers the cultural roots of our ecological crisis and proposes ways to repair broken bonds with the earth, our past, and nature. Ultimately encouraging, he notes, 'There is a secret person undamaged in every individual. We have not lost, and cannot lose, the genuine impulse.'
