Encountering Earth

Theology

“The original essays in this outstanding and wide-ranging book deserve a broad and global readership. When we encounter nonhuman animals—aka animals—and are open to the messages they clearly send to us about who they are and what they want from us, the more-than-human world opens widely and we are obliged to help them in all ways possible. Other animals help us to re-wild our hearts and remove us from a narrow and damaging anthropocentric view of the diverse community of beings with whom we are blessed to share our fascinating and magnificent planet.”

In a Land of Awe

Arts & Literature

“Horses are amazingly sensitive sentient beings. Chad Hanson's beautifully written and highly personal In a Land of Awe does an outstanding job of informing readers about the awe-inspiring lives of wild horses in the West: their families and their futures. Readers will come away feeling deeply connected or reconnected with horses and their homes.”

Spirit Unleashed

Science & Faith

“Spirit Unleashed is a most important book for showing how misleading it is to believe and to live as if there is a great divide between us and other beings. When we pay close attention to what we know about the cognitive, emotional, and moral lives of other animals and when we listen to what they want and need from us . . . it is easy to choose to live in close, respectful, and peaceful coexistence with them. Rewilding our hearts is a natural path for achieving a broad natural spirituality in which all beings will benefit from sharing our magnificent planet. Anne Benvenuti poignantly shows how true this is.”

The Wisdom of the Liminal

Science & Faith

“Celia Deane-Drummond's work catalyzes my belief that peaceful coexistence among humans and nonhumans is possible. . . . This very important, forward-looking book deserves wide readership and can be a paradigm changer that will make a positive difference in human-animal relationships.”
