In EcoMind, Frances Moore Lappa giant of the environmental movementconfronts accepted wisdom of environmentalism. Drawing on the latest research from anthropology to neuroscience and her own field experience, she argues that the biggest challenge to human survival isnt our fossil fuel dependency, melting glaciers, or other calamities. Rather, its our faulty way of thinking about these environmental crises that robs us of power. Lapp dismantles seven common thought trapsfrom limits to growth to the failings of democracy that belie what we now know about nature, including our own, and offers contrasting thought leaps that reveal our hidden power.
Like her Diet for a Small Planet classic, EcoMind is challenging, controversial and empowering.
