A
NEW COVENANT WITH NATURE - Richard
Heinberg - Notes on the End of Civilization and the Renewal
of Culture. Is modern civilization fundamentally flawed? Is society
itself a world-threatening catastrophe? In this radical and thoughtful
book, eco-philosopher Richard Heinberg explores what we each can do to
renew our ancient connections with all that is wild and free and
generative. By the kinds and quantities of resources it uses, each
culture makes a covenant with nature. Indeed, Heinberg shows, human
history can be understood as a series of such contracts. Our culture's
covenant with nature is obviously crumbling. If we are to give birth to
a new and viable one, we must restore the foundations of human society
from the soil up by rethinking the givens of "civilized" life
such as Money, Spirituality, and Art and by quietly deserting the
existing social system. Richard Heinberg has lectured widely, appearing
on radio and television in five countries. His essays have appeared in
many magazines. His alliterative monthly broadside, MuseLetter was
nominated in 1995 by the Utne Reader for an Alternative Press Award in
the category of Emerging Issues and was included in Utne's annual list
of "Best Alternative Newsletters." His previous books include
Memories and Visions of Paradise and Celebrate the Solstice: Honoring
the Earth's Seasonal Rhythms through Festival and Ceremony. 0835607461
