These are inspiring and enlightening essays. They will change your perception of Nature. I recommend these books wholeheartedly!--Satish Kumar, Founder, Schumacher College, Editor Emeritus, Resurgence & Ecologist

Volume 1 of the Kinship series revolves around the question of planetary relations What are the sources of our deepest evolutionary and planetary connections, and of our profound longing for kinship?

We live in an astounding world of relations. We share these ties that bind with our fellow humans--and we share these relations with nonhuman beings as well. From the bacterium swimming in your belly to the trees exhaling the breath you breathe, this community of life is our kin--and, for many cultures around the world, being human is based upon this extended sense of kinship.

With every breath, every sip of water, every meal, we are reminded that our lives are inseparable from the life of the world--and the cosmos--in ways both material and spiritual. Planet, Volume 1 of the Kinship series, focuses on our Earthen home and the cosmos within which our pale blue dot of a planet nestles. National poet laureate Joy Harjo opens up the volume asking us to Remember the sky you were born under. The essayists and poets that follow--such as geologist Marcia Bjornerud who takes readers on a Deep Time journey, geophilosopher David Abram who imagines the Earth's breathing through animal migrations, and theoretical physicist Marcelo Gleiser who contemplates the relations between mystery and science--offer perspectives from around the world and from various cultures about what it means to be an Earthling, and all that we share in common with our planetary kin. Remember, Harjo implores, all is in motion, is growing, is you.
