The desacralization of nature ; The search for others world ; Life on other worlds -- The universe awakens. The mystery of life ; Lessons from a living planet -- The mindful cosmos. Biocentrism ; A manifesto for humanity's future -- Epilogue: The resacralization of nature. "An award-winning astronomer and physicist's spellbinding and urgent call for a new Enlightenment and the recognition of the preciousness of life using reason and curiosity--the foundations of science--to study, nurture, and ultimately preserve humanity as we face the existential crisis of climate change"-- Since Copernicus, humanity has increasingly seen itself as adrift withing a large, cold universe. Gleiser argues that we need to reinvent our relationship with life and with the planet if we are to preserve our project of civilization. He calls for us to embrace a new life-centric perspective that recognizes just how rare and precious life is-- and why it should be our mission to preserve and nurture it. -- adapted from jacket |
