4.0 out of 5 stars
Great anthology,
By Sam Andrews (California) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: This Sacred Earth: Religion, Nature, Environment (Paperback)
I think I can sum up the book in one word: thorough. At times it's tough to get through, but in the end you realize the book is so useful you can't let it out of your sight.
5.0 out of 5 stars
As described,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: This Sacred Earth: Religion, Nature, Environment (Paperback)
This book was for my last college level class, but is a must read for environmentally conscience or curious individuals that are also interested in how religion may or may not play a role in our way of society and view of nature. It has exceptional material from hundreds of well known authors, opening up more doors--great addition!
