This age has been singularly defined by humans' unique and unprecedented ability to destroy our only habitat. In the face of global warming and animal extinction, it is vitally important we collectively turn toward the cultivation of eco-virtues--a new set of values by which to live--if there is to be any hope for us and other species to continue to exist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWithin this collection are Nunavut hunters, religious theologists, acclaimed academics and poets--including writing by philosopher and poet Jan Zwicky recently deemed a seminal text on climate change by The Guardian.
