How can we best steward the world for all its inhabitants?"--Jules Pretty, author of The Edge of Extinction: Travels with Enduring People in Vanishing Lands "City of the Good is an ambitious effort to tell the history of the interconnections between religion, nature, and community. This is an important book with big ideas, fresh perspectives, and a broad sweep." --Colin Jerolmack, author of The Global Pigeon
