{"product_id":"down-to-earth-clifford-chalmers-cain-9780761846871","title":"Down to Earth: Religious Paths toward Custodianship of Nature","description":"Down to Earth scientifically describes the multitude of environmental problems besetting planet earth and indicates why these environmental problems are, at their root, a spiritual or religious challenge. Simply learning about the scientific description of these environmental threats will not be sufficient to solve them, the author argues, for attitudes must be changed and behavioral patterns must be altered. This need for change invariably confronts the core values that we hold and the routine actions that we undertake. Through an examination of the worldviews and sacred texts of eight spiritual traditions, we learn of the common insights and powerful resources that these world religions can offer. The author believes that it is necessary to join an ecological conscience to an ecological consciousness for humans to exercise custodianship of nature both responsibly and sustainably.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clifford Chalmers Cain, William Bryan Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0761846875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780761846871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Clifford Chalmers Cain","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128531087615,"sku":"9780761846871","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_536eee18-afc5-410b-bf1c-dd6d904f4bbe.jpg?v=1687459132","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/down-to-earth-clifford-chalmers-cain-9780761846871","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
