What I Forgot...And Why I Remembered

...And Why I Remembered

Beschreibung

In this lyrical, hard-hitting memoir, one American woman's journey is set against the larger landscape of the political upheaval and global climate disruption of her time and place. In telling the story of a generation who "forgot" how important the health of our planet is to our personal and collective well-being, Jennifer Browdy calls on readers to remember our primary connection to the Earth and begin the process of transformation at the intersection of the personal, political and planetary.
