Description
This outstanding selection of articles from Resurgence provides many ideas and insights which are helping to shape the coming age of ecology - an age which will bring together, soil, soul and society.
This Outstanding selection of articles from Resurgence magazine commemorates the publication of the journal’s 200th edition, and twenty-five years of the editorship of Satish Kumar and June Mitchell.
What is Resurgence? As the list of writers shows, it is a magazine of many ideas and insights which are helping to shape the coming age of ecology-an age which will bring together soil, soul and society. Among its themes are the fundamental destructiveness of the global economy; the need for economics as if people mattered; the importance of human scale, spirituality, rurality, non-violence, and the Third World.
Resurgence acknowledges the wisdom of beauty, the value of practical example and the importance of the whole, a holistic view of life. Only connect, wrote E M Forster-it might preface every edition.
