""Integral Ecology" is a forward-looking book that invites
compassionate proactive activism when dealing with the messes we've
made. Time isn't on our side, but my optimism leads me to believe
that if we embrace the authors' messages and put them into action
using humility, compassion, heart, and love, we still have a chance
to pull ourselves out of the many deep holes we're digging for
ourselves, other animals, and ecosystems."--Marc Bekoff, PhD,
University of Colorado, author of "Animals Matter" and "The
Emotional Lives of Animals"
"This is the finest book on ecology bar none. Highest
recommendation!"--Ken Wilber, author of "Sex, Ecology,
Spirituality" and "The Integral Vision" "This book offers a
promising approach for making sense of the diverse perspectives on
the environment, including the many ways of understanding the
complexities and challenges of global environmental change. The
integral ecology framework provides a valuable roadmap for
responding to contemporary problems such as climate change,
biodiversity loss, and land use change. Given the widespread and
often heated debates about environmental issues, the publication of
"Integral Ecology "is timely and appreciated."--Karen O'Brien, PhD,
University of Oslo, coauthor of "Environmental Change and
Globalization "and member of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning team of
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) "In "Integral
Ecology" Esbjorn-Hargens and Zimmerman have produced a complex
framework (rooted in a hierarchy of integrative levels proposed by
philosopher Ken Wilber) for the multidisciplinary interrogation of
ecological problems. This framework provides an intelligent basis
for discovering what questions need to be posed in our de facto
postmodern era, and how to formulate them most
effectively."--Stanley N. Salthe, PhD, Brooklyn College, author of
"Evolving Hierarchical Systems" and "Development and Evolution"
