The Bioneers: Declarations of Interdependence by Ken Ausubel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a fascinating and diverse 90s collection of back-to-nature, save-the-planet essays. The pieces are in a consistent form: problem definition, relevant pioneer/scientist-activist, what you can do. The diversity comes from applied science like Donald A. Hammer's Constructed Wetlands for Wastewater Treatment to spiritual points of view like ethnobotanist Kathleen "Kat" Harrison meeting the plant spirits in dreams. One introduction that brings these ends of the gamut together is the water form explorations of Jennifer Greene.
