Center for Humans and Nature Knihy

Volume 1 of the Kinship series revolves around the question of planetary relations: What are the sources of our deepest evolutionary and planetary connections, and of our profound longing for kinship? We live in an astounding world of relations. We share these ties that bind with our fellow humans--and we share these relations with nonhuman beings as well. From the bacterium swimming in your belly to the trees exhaling the breath you breathe, this community of life is our kin--and, for many cultures around the world, being human is based upon this extended sense of kinship

"Partners. How do cultural traditions, narratives, and mythologies shape the ways in which we relate to other beings as kin (or not)? How do these relations between and among different species foster a sense of responsibility and belonging?"-- taken form back cover
