Shaemus Spencer shaemus — I cannot think of a book that has had a more profound influence on how I live and how I see the world. I came across Earth in Mind seven years ago, when I was doing a great deal of soul searching, trying to figure out what kind of life I wanted to lead, trying to understand our ecological crisis, and struggling to understand why we were doing such great harm to ourselves. David Orr convinced me that an important part of being an environmentalist is loving and taking pleasure in the natural world, this world that I want to save for myself, my family, my friends, and future generations. As Orr points out, in order to fight for something, you must first love it. And one cannot love that which one doesn't know. So, even thought I had always been an indoor person, this book inspired me to set aside my books, and go for a walk or a hike. I also began to pause before I made decisions to consider what the environmental impact would be. David Orr argues that the answer to our social and environmental problems isn't simply ensuring that everyone gets a college education. We don't just need more education. We're currently learning the wrong things in school. We need to be passing on values and knowledge that will create a sustainable world. I, for one, graduated from college without the fainest clue how to live sustainably. By spending nearly the entire school day indoors, educators are sending students the message that time in nature, experiencing it and studying it, is not important. It is vital that our educational system reflect values that will create a more sustainable society. It's essential that we study ecology and agriculture, know where our food comes from and know how to grow it sustainably. Here is my favorite part of Earth in Mind: "Were we to confront our creaturehood squarely, how would we propose to educate? The answer, I think is implied in the root of the word education, educe, which means 'to draw out.' What needs to be drawn out is our affinity for life. That affinity needs opportunities to grow and flourish, it needs to be validated, it needs to be instructed and disciplined, and it needs to be harnessed to the goal of building humane and sustainable societies. Education that builds on our affinity for life would lead to a kind of awakening of possibilities and potentials that lie dormant and unused in the industrial-utilitarian mind. Therefore the task of education, as Dave Forman stated, is to help us 'open our souls to love this glorious, luxuriant, animated, planet.' The good news is that our own nature will help us in the process if we let it."

Shibin Bose imbichie — This is quite possibly my absolute most favorite book. I don't understand why students aren't asked to read David Copperfield in High School instead of some of Dicken's other designated "classics". It is my favorite of his works.
