Modern scientific research is discovering a universe that is dynamically alive a whole system, fluid and interconnected.

I'm sure this would be groundbreaking for someone who hasn't read dozens of environmental books over the last 15 years, but for someone who has, it's quite repetitive and doesn't say anything I haven't heard before from a dozen other places already. I got to page 79.

I have tried so hard to like Thomas Berry.

I give up. I can't do it. Dense, unreadable prose based on the sketchiest types of half-evidence, stitched together with such slender chains of reasoning that a good sneeze could rip it apart. Nice ideas. Lovely philosophy. A wonderful world would result if, indeed, there were any basis for his proposals or if they were implementable by animals with the sorts of brains human beings have. But they're not, and I can't waste one more second of my life believing that there is anything useful to be learned from a book that makes the argument that there were pre-partriarchal women-ruled societies in which the environment was treated well. Mr. Berry, you meant well, and I respect you as an ally; but to all his successors, I beg of you, please sully yourself with some form of actual evidence, and stop confusing "fact" with "someone else's opinion that you found in print."… (altro)
