Power Over Nature
Author and scholar Mary Evelyn Tucker explains that humanity has overextended its presence, technologies and sense of control. We need to once again listen to the voices of nature and become co-creators not dominators.

She co-edited a series of books examining religion and ecology as well as a Daedalus volume titled Religion and Ecology: Can the Climate Change? (2001). She edited several of Thomas Berry's books including Evening Thoughts (Sierra Club Books and University of California Press, 2006), The Sacred Universe (Columbia Univ. Press, 2009), Christian Future and the Fate of Earth (Orbis Book, 2009).
