“A simple and comprehensive vision of personal and planetary peace… Dreher’s examples work as meditations as well as road maps.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune“Especially important are [Dreher’s] examples of individual action and her many annotations… her lessons are quite useful. This is an important subject… and one that promises to bring a renewal of environmental consciousness.”—Booklist
