In this book, Eric T. Freyfogle, legal scholar and naturalist, shares his perspective on our urgent need for a more harmonious relationship with the Earth. Combining his legal expertise with a strong personal commitment, and drawing on the work of other naturalists and scholars, Freyfogle encourages us to see a world that stretches far beyond our own property lines and political boundaries. To save the Earth, he argues, we must change our fundamental thinking about it. Such basic ideas as economic prosperity and natural beauty are often in direct conflict with sustaining human life on the planet. Freyfogle offers new economic values to replace our "more is better" philosophy, redefines what is beautiful, proposes new ways to protect individual property rights while still protecting nature, and suggests other innovative images to guide our actions on the planet.
