Thinking Like a Plant
A Living Science for Life
Description:...
Whowould imagine that plants can become master teachers of a radical new way ofseeing and interacting with the world? Plants are dynamic and resilient,living in intimate connection with their environment. This book presents anorganic way of knowing modeled after the way plants live. When we slow down,turn our attention to plants, study them carefully, and consciouslyinternalize the way they live, a transformation begins. Our thinking becomesmore fluid and dynamic; we realize how we are embedded in the world; webecome sensitive and responsive to the contexts we meet; and we learn tothrive within a changing world. These are the qualities our culture needs inorder to develop a more sustainable, life-supporting relation to ourenvironment. While it is easy to talk about new paradigms and to critique ourcurrent state of affairs, it is not so easy to move beyond the status quo.That’s why this book is crafted as a practical guide to developing alife-infused way of interacting with the world.
