Description: Our present ecological crisis is the greatest man-made disaster this planet has ever faced - its accelerating climate change, species depletion, pollution and acidification of the oceans.  A central but rarely addressed aspect of this crisis is our forgetfulness of the sacred nature of creation, and how this affects our relationship to the environment.  There is a pressing need to articulate a spiritual response to this ecological crisis.  This is vital and necessary if we are to help bring the world as a living whole back into balance.--COVER.
