Description
Alastair McIntosh's powerful and provocative book explores how individuals and communities can take on corporate power to protect the environment. Through a unique blend of theology, mythology, economics, ecology, history, poetics and politics, McIntosh presents a radical new philosophy of community, spirit and place.
This thought-provoking work is based on the author's own experiences, including his role in helping the residents of Eigg to clear their laird from his estate and persuading a Native American warrior chief to testify at a government inquiry. The result is an uplifting and inspirational read that challenges readers to think differently about the natural world.
