Book Description
A poetic and loving inquiry into creating sustainable, plant-based practices, EarthGut awakens readers to the questions we must address to prevent humanity’s destructive trajectory. It is the story of our journey through peace, love, and the rich microbial realm into becoming grounded in a world rooted in change and disconnection. We are deeply connected with the earth, and its health or mistreatment is manifest in our guts. Within these pages, love, science, and story lead us to reflect on our role as stewards of the earth and each other, a reminder of our responsibility to be of service and to remain well for the next seven generations. Thus, EarthGut is centered on knowledge and a heartfelt sense of why peace, love, and our microbiome matters in these precarious times. Our awakening is critical and requires an exploration of both our gut health and our interconnection with the earth. Full of valuable knowledge and practices to help readers begin their journey to wellness, EarthGut is not only meant for seekers of health and individuals with digestive disorders and disease, but also to people with other health issues and those seeking to practice peace. It helps to connect the dots along our journey in a way that is gentle and real, full of both story and science. Embrace the journey to living a healthful, purposeful life. In the reunion of peace, love, and microbes, we find our remembrance, our way home to a kinder planet. There is hope for all to heal.

Peace Love Yoga
Author: Andrea R. JainPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190888644
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Engaging with the growing popular and academic interest in the "spiritual but not religious," Andrea R. Jain explores the connections between the practices of global spirituality and aspects of neoliberal capitalism in Peace Love Yoga. "Personal growth," "self-care," and "transformation" are all tropes in the narrative of the spiritual identity Jain is concerned with. This "spirituality" is usually depicted as firmly countercultural: the term "alternative" (alternative health, alternative medicine, alternative spiritualities) is omnipresent. To the contrary, Jain argues, spiritual commodities, entrepreneurs, and consumers are quite mainstream and sometimes even conservative and nationalistic. Ranging from the transnational to the economic to the activist, Jain refuses the single narrative focus of most works on the SBNR; human phenomena that can be analyzed through a single lens or narrative are few and far between, and existing research in this area too often yields a suspiciously tidy story. The heart of the book includes sophisticated analyses of: two politically divergent but equally entrepreneurial and global-capitalist yoga gurus; "athleisure apparel" corporations, such as lululemon, that successfully market consumer goods as a purchased commitment to social justice; and therapeutically-focused applications of spirituality that concentrate on healing the broken person rather than undermining the system that broke that person in the first place. Many spiritual commodities, corporations, and entrepreneurs, Jain suggests, do actually acknowledge the problems of neoliberal capitalism and in fact subvert them; but they subvert them through mere gestures. From provocative taglines printed across t-shirts or packaging to calls for "conscious capitalism," commodification serves as a strategy through which subversion itself is colonized.

Author: In a Dark Wood
Author: Alston ChasePublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135151315X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 547
Book Description
In a Dark Wood presents a history of debates among ecologists over what constitutes good forestry, and a critique of the ecological reasoning behind contemporary strategies of preservation, including the Endangered Species Act. Chase argues that these strategies, in many instances adopted for political, rather than scientific reasons, fail to promote biological diversity and may actually harm more creatures than they help. At the same time, Chase offers examples of conservation strategies that work, but which are deemed politically incorrect and ignored. In a Dark Wood provides the most thoughtful and complete account yet written of radical environmentalism. And it challenges the fundamental—but largely unexamined—assumptions of preservationism, such as those concerning whether there is a "balance of nature," whether all branches of ecology are really science, and whether ecosystems exist. In his new introduction, Chase evaluates the response to his book and reports on recent developments in environmental science, policy, and politics. In a Dark Wood was judged by a recent national poll to be one of the one hundred best nonfiction books written in the English language during the twentieth century. A smashing good read, this book will be of interest to environmentalists, ecologists, philosophers, biologists, and bio-ethicists, and anyone concerned about ecological issues.
