“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Guardian Review of My Penguin Book

For USA people this will be published soon by MIT Press. It's called Being Ecological. I'm launching it at the London Review of Books bookshop next week! Details soon.

Here's a nice review of it in The Guardian

Thank you for your work.It should arrive any day!

In "Dark Ecology" you write about the ouroboros which is an idea I love. I hope you come back to this. Do you know of Erich Neumann "Origin of Consciousness" on this notion? A classic work.

Your chapter in Jeffrey Jerome Cohens book on Elemental Ecocriticism reminded me of a book written by David Frawley outlining a Yogic Ecology around the notion of a Sacred Fire. Thanks for stimulating my mental fires and I loved your last chapter on Kindness in "Humankind". Swimming the crawl is also a form of Rocking!https://www.yogainasia.com/articles_pdf/Yoga%20and%20the%20Sacred%20Fire2.pdf
