- The book deserves to be read and discussed widely."
—John Clark, Professor of Philosophy, Loyla University

"Marshall's sense of the beauty and wildness in nature, of the sacredness of natural life and of the wisdoms of the Eastern mystics are, of course, important considerations in a world which is increasingly mad with competition, dominance, neo-imperialism, and profit. And any reasonable person would applaud his efforts to promulgate the importance of this sense of nature's sacredness if we are to survive as fully human beings in the twenty-first century."
—Arthur J. Spring, Bridges, Winter 2001
Product Description
Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? In seeking answers to these fundamental questions, Peter Marshall develops a dynamic and organic philosophy for the third millennium which he calls liberation ecology. Deep, social and libertarian, it seeks to free nature, society and individuals from their existing burdens so that they can realize together their full potential.Riding the Wind presents a fresh and inspired vision which combines ancient wisdom and modern insights, reason and intuition, science and myth. It is an exciting and uplifting work on how to live well and in harmony with oneself, with others and with nature. It will appeal to all those adventurous spirits who are searching for meaning and who wish to find their rightful place within the universe.
