Rate 0.0 /5

What is humankind in relation to 13 bilion years of universe history? What is out place in the framework of 4.6 billion years of Earth history? How can we foster the stability and integrity of life processes? The challenge for the world's religions, argues Mary Evelyn Tucker, is both to re-envision our role as citizens of the universe and to reinvent our niche as members of the Earth community.--COVER.
