Description: "Drawing from Suzuki's published and unpublished writings, this collection reveals the underlying themes that have informed his work for more than three decades. In these essays, Suzuki explores the limits of knowledge and the connectedness of all things; looks unflinchingly at the destructive forces of globalization, political shortsightedness, and greed; cautions against blind faith in science, technology, politics, and economics; and provides inspiring examples of how and where to make those changes that will matter to all of us and to future generations. He also offers a vision of hope based on our love of children and nature."--Jacket.
