They contribute to his searching inquiry into the character of human thought and behaviour that he has been exploring for many years with his other books on Taoism and Zen. In The EcoTrilogy, he employs the same lucid perspectives, calm objectivity and insightful clarity to reveal who we are in arguably the most critical period on human history. The separate sections of The EcoTrilogy fit loosely into three categories: a philosophical Ecologos, a psychological Ecopathy, and a bio-physical Ecocide. Thus The EcoTrilogy becomes a comprehensive and penetrating analysis of the personal and collective challenges confronting humanity in a time of unprecedented technological, sociological and ecological change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEcologos: Only by familiarizing ourselves with the fundamental motivating forces that are shaping how we think, feel and act will we be able to address the enormous environmental challenges now confronting us. The 48 essays in Ecologos reveal some of these powerful forces by exploring a variety of the diverse cultural values, ideas, concerns and attitudes that are functioning below our awareness but directing our individual and collective behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEcopathy: The 48 essays in Ecopathy examine the psychological dynamics operating within us that inflict egregious damage on our planet's ecosystems, and ultimately subvert or own best interests. But we can greatly reduce the likelihood of being victims of ourselves by moving these inner dynamics from an unconscious to a conscious level so they can be controlled and guided toward a more harmonious and sustainable relationship with nature.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEcocide: Ecocide offers 48 specific examples of the extensive environmental damage that we could or do cause when our philosophical notions, psychological dynamics and cultural values are in conflict with the fundamental operating principles of nature. If we are to undertake the necessary preventative and corrective measures to protect vital ecologies, it is crucial that we confront the extent of this damage so we can attempt to change ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52475398062353,"sku":"NLS9781664192805","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52753502765329,"sku":"NIN9781664192805","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781664192805.jpg?v=1759842492"},{"product_id":"zen-of-an-earth-mythology-book-ray-grigg-9781664193215","title":"The Zen of an Earth Mythology","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Zen of an Earth Mythology\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJoseph Campbell, the famous American mythologist, commented in his last book, The Power of Myth, The only mythology that is valid today is the mythology of the planet-and we don't have such a mythology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Zen of an Earth Mythology is a thoughtful reply to Joseph Campbell's comment-an exploration of the nascent mythology that is currently forming to give fresh meaning to our individual experiences, lucid insights to our unfolding knowledge, and wise guidance to our collective behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis urgently needed mythology is replacing an old one that has been largely responsible for the environmental crisis we are inflicting on ourselves and our planet-a mythology so incongruous with nature's imperatives that its influence now threatens the viability of civilization itself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Zen of an Earth Mythology begins by examining the origin and effects of the Genesis mythology in our Western culture, then follows the emergence of an Earth mythology through historical developments in theology, philosophy, mathematics, technology, biology, psychology and physics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe arrival of an Earth mythology is timely and discernible, yet confusing and enigmatic-a Zen koan that demands a solution as we struggle to understand who we are as a species, and how we are to live on our only home in the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52477292019985,"sku":"NLS9781664193215","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52753445126417,"sku":"NIN9781664193215","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781664193215.jpg?v=1759845383"},{"product_id":"nature-of-zen-book-ray-grigg-9798369430699","title":"The Nature of Zen","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53638585319697,"sku":"NLS9798369430699","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798369430699.jpg?v=1781008531"},{"product_id":"tao-of-ecology-book-ray-grigg-9798369460832","title":"The Tao of Ecology","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Tao of Ecology\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWisdom from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching\u003cbr\u003e In a Time\u003cbr\u003e of\u003cbr\u003e Environmental Crisis\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTaoism is fundamentally ecological.
