Cormac Cullinan leads us toward a new relationship with Mother Earth just in time. * Maude Barlow, activist and co-founder of the Blue Planet Project * As Cormac Cullinan argues so powerfully, the morality of [wild law] is clear, and the logic of the case seems impeccable. Indeed we should be asking, can we claim to be fully civilized in the absence of such laws? * Colin Tudge, author of The Secret Life of Trees * This book of Cormac Cullinan explains with great clarity how we can change our entire approach to governance so that we can continue life on a liveable planet. In its basic outlines this book is one of the finest contributions to the entire field of jurisprudence in recent times. * Thomas Berry, author of The Dream of the Earth * Wild Law is a stimulating, eminently readable response to our governance crisis. The survival of our species and health of the Earth family depends on our ability to transform governance systems so that humans become part of the ecological matrix of biological and cultural diversity. This book is a milestone on that path. * Dr Vandana Shiva, President of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology * This provocative and groundbreaking book is an important milestone in the process of finding a viable ecological role for contemporary human societies... Cormac Cullinan's call for the indigenous voices and the wisdom of thousands of years of human experience to be heard in the heart of our governance systems is both timely and powerful. * Marin von Hildebrand, co-ordinator of COAMA * Wild Law shows just how radical we now need to be in creating new institutions that are genuinely 'fit for purpose' in the 21st Century. * Jonathon Porritt, Director of Forum for the Future * We urgently need to rethink our legal and political systems if we are to stop environemntal destruction. The radical ideas in Wild Law will give both lawyers and grass-root activists the tools they need to start the process. * Michael Meacher, former UK Minister for the Environment * Wild Law is to law what quantum physics is to physics. * Alessandro Pelizzion, co-founder of Earth Laws *
