Ecology and Spirituality

<p>Ecology is the science of interconnection the examination of the ways in which everything in the natural world is interdependent.</p><p>Spirituality is the sense that there is something deeper than or beyond the material world. Jack Hunter's book is an accessible introduction to the ways in which these two areas combine and are compatible. The book ranges across the origins of ecology the nature of spirituality and religion the evidence for non-human intelligence ecopsychology and the ecological self. It examines animism parapsychology and sacred geography. Finally it suggests some ways forward: recognising the sacred in nature as an aid to well-being permaculture as the most sustainable form of agriculture and placing an awareness of nature at the centre of education.</p><p><br></p><p>ecology religious aspects ecotheology nature religious aspects spirituality environmental psychology permaculture environmental education</p>
