Wow…has it actually been almost two months since my last post?
Been reading a lot lately. I had some time to kill while in Seattle the other day and, after getting my obligatory bag of donuts from Pike Place Market, wandered up and into Left Bank Books. I didn’t have near as much time as I wanted to spend in there…but I did leave with The Creation: an appeal to save live on earth by E. O. Wilson. A naturalist, entymologist, and expert on ants, he begins the book with: “Dear Pastor…” The entire book is written as a letter/conversation with a pastor, and is a call for scientists and religious leaders to work together in getting people to understand the importance of biodiversity and environmental conservation.
“…ecosystems and species can be saved only by understanding the unique value of each species in turn, and by persuading the people who have dominion over them to serve as their stewards.”
