Subject: New material for your blog on wildness!
To: Rick Meril <rick.meril@gmail.com>

Dear Rick,

Here is some new material for your blog, that I hope you will please publish. This book is all about why we need wildness, and it is scholarly, peer-reviewed. Contributors include people who have a lot of wisdom on this topic. It is humbling to have been invited to contribute a chapter to this anthology.

"Rediscovery of the Wild: Check out the new ecopsychology anthology just published by MIT Press, edited by Patricia Hasbach and Peter Kahn in which Cristina Eisenberg wrote a chapter, entitled "Quantifying Wildness: A Scientist's Lessons about Wolves and Nature." http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/rediscovery-wild

It can also be pre-ordered from Amazon. Doug Peacock, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, and Jack Turner have chapters in this scholarly, peer-reviewed volume on why we need wildness. A great teaching tool as well as a source of personal inspiration!"

Thanks so much for all you do to keep wildness alive in America.


Cristina
