'Bill Plotkin enhances our grasp of the stages of life we are born to pass through by weaving into them themes of meaning, soul, and spirituality. This is a rich offering not only to the field of psychology but to a world torn from its roots.' Chellis Glendinning, PhD, author of My Name Is Chellis and I'm in Recovery from Western Civilization. 'This is an important book that all concerned Australians need to read. Our present ecological crisis calls for a response which is larger that rational science and good intentions. It calls for a new understanding of the world and our place in it, for vision as well as action. Bill Plotkin helps us along this road, showing why our repair of damage done to the environment must be based on a new vision of spiritual interconnectedness and ecological imagination.' David Tacey, Professor of Literature, La Trobe University and author of Re-Enchantment: The New Australian Spirituality.
