“In this tour de force, David Loy delves deeply into evolutionary psychology and the emergence of Axial Age religions to illuminate key causes of the crises currently impacting humanity. Readers will especially appreciate how he delineates the ecological costs of those religions’ dualisms — between now and the afterlife, between nature and a transcendent ultimate reality — while also lifting up nondualistic perspecties in those traditions that can support us in identifying with, loving and protecting our world.” –Christopher Ives, author of Zen Ecology
