This is a unique and compelling book that will make a significant contribution to the increasingly difficult and yet imperative public debate on humans' roles in environmental degradations and climate change. Caputi's book will transform the public discourse about humans' place in the planetary, challenging the patriarchal and utilitarian ways of seeing and talking about Earth/Nature/Mother.
