What is Learning to die : Wisdom in the Age of Climate Crisis about?

103 pages ; 17 cm "In this powerful little book, two leading intellectuals illuminate the truth about where our environmental crisis is taking us. Writing from an island on Canada's northwest coast, Robert Bringhurst and Jan Zwicky weigh in on the death of the planet versus the death of the individual. For Zwicky, awareness and humility are the foundation of the equanimity with which Socrates faced his death: he makes a good model when facing the death of the planet, as well as facing our own mortality. Bringhurst urges readers to tune their minds to the wild. The wild has healed the world before, and it is the only thing that stands any chance of healing the world now--though it is unlikely to save Homo sapiens in the process."--Provided by publisher Includes bibliographical references Part one. The mind of the wild / Robert Bringhurst -- Part two. A ship from Delos / Jan Zwicky -- Afterword. Optimism and pessimism / Robert Bringhurst & Jan Zwicky
