My book was mentioned recently on Grist, in a review of Timothy Beal’s new book When Time Is Short: Finding Our Way in the Anthropocene. The title of the review is “Is accepting the end of humanity the key to climate action? This scholar thinks so.” I’m extremely flattered to be included in such company as Michael Dowd and Jim Bendell, and I’m excited to read Beal’s book:
“When Time Is Short is the latest addition to a rich body of work on what eco-theologian Michael Dowd termed a “post-doom mentality” or sustainability scholar Jem Bendell calls “deep adaptation” — the idea that if you accept what is inevitable, you can develop a true sense of empathy and a plan for how to respond positively. Pagan environmental activist John Halstead argued in his 2019 book, Another End of the World is Possible, that we need to abandon the obsessive focus on growth and capitalism that has driven us to the brink of collapse. (A 2021 book by the same name, written by a trio of Belgian ecologists and environmental advocates, calls this approach “collapsing well”).”
