Hardback. Showing how our ability to see the Earth from 'necessary distance' has profound cultural and ethical implications, this book reveals a split between the ancient idea of the Earth as mother and its more recent conception as a resource to be exploited. The global change revealed by satellites should convince us of the need to act more responsibly. Num Pages: 149 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PDZ; PHR; RNFY.
