A Mighty Forest, A Mighty World is an easily-accessible and timely allegorical review of our past, our present, and a future that still longs to be. Whether recalling the dynamic, centuries-old history of the Americas, the rift between environmental care and industrial productivity, or some elemental struggle we might wrestle with internally within our individual lives, it provides - in poetic simplicity - a concise picture of the path we've taken from an "idyllic youth" . . . to the inevitable and impossible conundrum of where we are. And as for the way forward? Here, for some, may lie a surprising and refreshing re-introduction. For all, it is hoped, a humbling and powerful reminder of mankind's greatest ally . . . and greatest hope. For anyone who has struggled with the seemingly irreconcilable nature of apparent opposites and the bleak future it portends . . . this book is a gift.
