Recensioner i media

"Carolyn Merchant's work reflects the generosity of spirit necessary for the realization of the broad-based ecology movement she envisions. Radical Ecology is crucial reading for anyone concerned with the liberation of human beings and the earth and the relationships between these projects." -- Ynestra King, New School for Social Research"In a period when environmental problems are being dealt with through technological and financial fixes, Carolyn Merchant's Radical Ecology is a much-needed reminder of the deeper ethical perspective needed for responding to the ecological crisis." -- Dr. Vandana Shiva, author of Staying Alive: Women, Ecology and Development
