Produktbeschreibung
Change the story and change the future-merging science and Indigenous knowledge to steer us towards a more benign Anthropocene

Beautifully written, poignant, and mind expanding.
- Marc Bekoff, Ph.D. author, Rewilding Our Hearts and The Animals' Agenda

Reaches far beyond the natural world. It's a story about kindness and respect, inspiration and reward.
- Joel Berger, scientist and author, Extreme Conservation

AS HUMANITY MARCHES on, causing mass extinctions and destabilizing the climate, the future of Earth will very much reflect the stories that we accept today into our collective identity. At this pivotal moment in history, the most important story we can be telling ourselves is that humans are not inherently destructive.

In Changing Tides, Alejandro Frid tackles the big questions: who, or what, represents our essential selves, and what stories might allow us to shift the collective psyche of industrial civilization in time to avert the worst of the climate and biodiversity crises?

In seeking the answers, Frid draws from a deep well of personal experience and that of Indigenous colleagues. He finds a glimmer of hope in Indigenous cultures that, despite the ravishes of colonialism, have over thousands of years developed complex practices for resource management that epitomize sustainability. Ultimately, Frid argues, merging scientific perspectives with Indigenous knowledge might just help us change the story we tell ourselves about who we are and where we could go.

Changing Tides is for everyone concerned with the irrevocable changes we have unleashed upon our planet and how we might steer towards a more benign Anthropocene.

A needful and accessible book of soberly optimistic ecology.
- Anna Badkhen, author, Fisherman's Blues and Walking with Abel

Marries lyrical writing, compelling stories and sharp ecological and cultural insights.
- Mark L. Winston, author, Bee Time, winner of the 2015 Governor General's Literary Award for Non-fiction

Engaging, informative and life affirming.
- Nancy Turner, CM, OBC, FRSC, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Victoria
