Wild Law : A Manifesto for Earth Justice

In this visionary book, Cormac Cullinan explains how, if the community of life on Earth is to survive, a new understanding of nature and a new concept of legal systems are needed.Cullinan proposes a new approach or "Earth Jurisprudence" and gives practical guidance on how to begin moving towards it. He shows that this philosophy could help develop new legal systems that would foster human connections to nature. It would encourage personal and social practices that ensure our planet remains liveable.Wild Law is an inspiring and stimulating book, which fuses politics, legal theory, ancient wisdom and personal experiences into a fascinating and eminently readable story."This important book shows not only why we need to revise our governance systems completely, but also how to begin doing so in a way that draws inspiration from nature and from our diverse human communities."Professor Wangari Mathai, Nobel Peace Prize 2004Cullinan, Cormac is the author of 'Wild Law : A Manifesto for Earth Justice', published 2002 under ISBN 9780958441780 and ISBN 0958441782.
