Infos

"e;One of the penalties of an ecological education,"e; wrote Aldo Leopold, "e;is that one lives alone in a world of wounds."e; As climate change and other environmental degradations become more evident, experts predict that an increasing number of people will suffer emotional and psychological distress as a result. Many are feeling these effects already. In the pages of Solastalgia, they will find a source of companionship, inspiration, and advice.The concept of solastalgia comes from the Australian philosopher Glenn Albrecht, who describes it as "e;the homesickness we feel while still at home."e; It's the pain and longing we feel as we realize the world immediately around us is changing, with our love for that world serving as a catalyst for action on its behalf.This powerful anthology brings together thirty-four writers-educators, journalists, poets, and scientists-to share their emotions in the face of environmental crisis. They share their solastalgia, their beloved places, their vulnerability, their stories, their vision of what we can create.
