Review :
The book's greatest potential may be as an innovative textbook for the professor of introductory ecology who wants to motivate students to internalize the web of life into their psyches. Environment Meant as both a textbook and as a general reader, this book effectively marries scientific content with a conviction that the way to solve environmental and social problems comes not from legislation or technology, but from humankind's awakened and caring hearts. Recommended. -- F. T. Kuserk, Moravian College Christopher Uhl, professor of biology at the Pennsylvania State University, has written an intriguing book that tackles perhaps the most fundamental issues of our times, specifically, how to achieve sustainable societies that integrate, as opposed to alienate, the ecological world upon which we depend. Whether or not the reader agrees with Uhl's individual points or not is immaterial. It is the connections drawn throughout the book which, like ecology, make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. -- Mark A. Cochrane, Michigan State University Conservation Biology Anyone who reads Christopher Uhl's writing will come away with something of value, but two groups will benefit most: people who already appreciate the environment, but want inspiration to take the next step toward sustainable living; and teachers and parents who want to reframe today's environmental issues in a way that reaches their students/children at the gut level. -- Steve Lachman, Sierra A magnificently weaved cloth of not only what a sustainable world might look like, but also how we might get there. Buy yourself this book as a holiday present for all the good work you are doing out there on campuses across this country. Put your feet up, get comfortable, and savor the wisdom of one of our colleagues. Your work will be affirmed, your insights broadened, your connection to the great work ahead inspired. -- Terry Link, Michigan State University A remarkably useful contribution to the literature on the crisis in human relations with Earth and the whole debate over creating sustainability. Developing Ecological Consciousness is a book for the college classroom and for community groups of all kinds. It is a useful resource in terms of its information content, which is provided in sensible amounts for the layperson to take in. But this information is seen as feeding into an experiential process. That is the whole mission of the book: to help us form new contours in the landscape of our greatest asset-our consciousness. This book can be used to support the journeys of all individuals who are venturing onto the path of building a sustainable world. Christopher Uhl has a beautiful style of writing and writes with a quality of deep authenticity that is very refreshing. Earthlight Developing Ecological Consciousness powerfully blends information, insight, and inspiration. Friends Journal [Uhl] combines ecological information with anecdotes from his personal life, and employs a narrative style that is quick to read and easily accessible. Ecology If you only read one book about sustainability, make it Developing Ecological Consciousness by Chris Uhl. This readable and inspiring book has remarkable scope, literally from the Big Bang to the practice of loving kindness. It also ranges from well-grounded science clearly explained to philosophy and personal reflection. Trends
