Lädt ... Wisdom of the Elders: Sacred Native Stories of Naturevon David Suzuki
![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() Knudtson’s a biologist and nature writer; Suzuki’s well known as a TV scientist, zoologist and environmental/climate change activist. Wisdom of the Elders is an unashamed ecofest, but its tone is generous and open-minded rather than haranguing, and the stories speak for themselves. The focus is on native cultures, their sense of the sacred, and their cosmological motifs; quotes from great scientists head each chapter, followed by short excerpts and translations from a wide variety of indigenous myths. This statement is referenced a couple of times and is well worth a read. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
An in-depth, meticulously documented exploration of the ecological wisdom of Native Peoples from around the world Arranged thematically, Wisdom of the Elders contains sacred stories and traditions on the interrelationships between humans and the environment as well as perspectives from modern science, which more often than not validate the sacred, ancient Wisdom of the Elders. Native peoples and environments discussed range from the Inuit Arctic and the Native Americans of the Northwest coast, the Sioux of the Plains, and the Pueblo, Hopi, and Navajo of the Southwest to the Australian Outback, to the rich, fecund tropics of Africa, Malaysia, and the Amazon. "Our technological civilization is speeding toward a violent collision with nature, and we are threatening the ability of the Earth--our home--to support life as we know it. Suzuki and Knudtson's extraordinary work powerfully reminds us that we are indeed one with the Earth. We are truly indebted to them for charting for us the course toward a healthy and sustaining relationship with our planet."--Vice President Al Gore Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
