The Sacred Balance (25th Anniversary Edition)

Rediscovering Our Place in Nature

De: David Suzuki, Robin Wall Kimmerer - foreword, Bill McKibben - afterword

Narrado por: David Suzuki, Megan Tooley, Zack Sage

“The Sacred Balance has a beautiful spirit.”—E.O. Wilson

With a new foreword from Robin Wall Kimmerer, New York Times-bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass—and an afterword from Bill McKibben—this special 25th anniversary edition of a beloved bestseller invites listeners to see ourselves as part of nature, not separate.

The world is changing at a relentless pace. How can we slow down and act from a place of respect for all living things? The Sacred Balance shows us how.

In this extensively updated new edition, David Suzuki reflects on the increasingly radical changes in science and nature—from the climate crisis to peak oil and the rise in clean energy—and examines what they mean for humankind. He also reflects on what we have learned by listening to Indigenous leaders, whose knowledge of the natural world is profound, and whose peoples are on the frontlines of protecting land and water around the world.

Drawing on his own experiences and those of others who have put their beliefs into action, The Sacred Balance combines science, philosophy, spirituality, and Indigenous knowledge to offer concrete suggestions for creating an ecologically sustainable future by rediscovering and addressing humanity’s basic needs.

Wisdom the World Needs

The science and the evolution of our species to the precipice we face that threatens our our sustainability is presented in a rational understandable way.

It’s Now or Never

What would the world be like today if thought and action had shifted as David Suzuki suggested 50 years ago? What will it be like in 10 years if the changes are still avoided? Let’s recalibrate our awareness meaning, community, and what is most valuable. Let’s restore the Sacred Balance Suzuki so clearly articulates. Now.
