Secular materialism, the philosophy which serves as the driving engine of the extractive economy, would be totally repealed if even a small fraction of this book is internalized and practiced by a small percent of our population. Few books stand the chance to be as dog-eared from practical use as this one. All ages will benefit from the creativity Ellen Bernstein and Dan Fink have exercised in bringing forth the relevant scripture to the modern environmental crisis.
