the environment. There is so much more we need to learn and this
book is the perfect guide to reframing how we can act - through
research, experience and compassion - in tomorrow's world. An
essential read

Revealing, intimate, and educational, it’s a testament to the
authors’ wish for readers to come to grips with, and let go of, the
past – and to move forward into 'post-traumatic wisdom.'
