In her latest book, acclaimed author Kathleen Dean Moore reflects on how deeply the environment is entrenched in the human spirit, despite the notion that nature and humans are somehow separate.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoore's essays, deeply felt and often funny, make connections in what can appear to be a disconnected world. Written in parable form, her stories of family and friends--of wilderness excursions with her husband and children, camping trips with students, blowing up a dam, her daughter's arrest for protesting the war in Iraq--affirm an impulse of caring that belies the abstract division of humans from nature, of the sacred from the mundane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderlying these wonderfully engaging stories is the author's belief in a new ecological ethic of care, one that expands the idea of community to include the environment, and embraces the land as family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Dean Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1571312811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571312815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Kathleen Dean Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042713432319,"sku":"9781571312815","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19e20f54-26d2-4ce8-9a9d-e07e5e20f8a0.jpg?v=1684963113","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pine-island-paradox-kathleen-dean-moore-9781571312815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
