| Bioregionalism by Michael Vincent McGinnis (Editor).
Bioregionalism is the first book to explain the theoretical
and practical dimensions of bioregionalism from an interdisciplinary standpoint, focusing on the place of
bioregional identity within global politics. Leading contributors
from a broad range of disciplines introduce this exciting new
concept as a framework for thinking about indigenous peoples, local knowledge, globalization, science, global environmental issues, modern society, conservation, history,
education and restoration. Bioregionalism's emphasis on place and community radically changes the way we confront human and ecological
issues.

social justice. Defenders of property rights are usually thought to be the moneyed class,
capitalists, and those who are hell bent on destroying the environment. I want to present
a different view of property rights. It is a view that comes from the Third World from
environmentalists, indigenous rights activists, and grassroots groups. Those Third World
citizens have a view of property rights that I think is profound and enlightening, and I
predict it will revolutionize political structures that determine how Third World
environments are treated...

By David Haenke. David
Haenke explains that bioregionalism picks up where environmentalism leaves off,
challenging everyone to emphasize sustainability and define community to include the
nonhuman as well. The North American bioregional movement has held biennial meetings since
1984 and is steadily building awareness of the task ahead. In line with this, David makes
the case for a necessary partnership between communitarians and
bioregionalists.

by characteristics of flora, fauna, water, climate, rocks, soils, land forms, and the hum
