""While map is not territory, Inherited Land is a splendid guide to the expanding field of Religion and Ecology. Tracking the shifting contexts, complexities, and promise of Religion and Ecology will grow even more important in the days and decades ahead. These essays show the way."" -Larry Rasmussen Reinhold Niebuhr Professor Emeritus of Social Ethics Union Theological Seminary, New York City ""This splendid essay collection decisively moves religion and ecology studies beyond present parameters, convincingly demonstrating how solutions to the present ecological crisis depend not only on moral and spiritual reform but also on social, environmental, and cross-cultural relationships. In short, on 'knowing one's place.' This requires embodied knowledge situated in networks of relations, practices, and space/place and consequently, the rejection of any assumption that the natural world must conform to our ends and desires."" -Anne Primavesi, author of Cultivating Unity Within the Biodiversity of God (2011) ""This is the first collection of essays by a new generation of scholars who have focused on religion and nature from the beginning of their careers. It helps both to define the field as it now stands and to identify new directions for the future. In particular, the authors call attention to the centrality of lived practice, to the tensions between scholarship and advocacy, and to the need to consider not only ecological but also social issues, including technology. Their criticisms are constructive, their research careful, and their ideas well worth reading, discussing, and teaching."" -Anna Peterson Department of Religion University of Florida
