"We are facing unprecedented environmental challenges, including global climate change, large-scale industrial development, rapidly increasing species extinction, ocean acidification, and deforestation--challenges which require new vocabularies and new ways to express grief and sorrow over the disappearance, degradation, and loss of nature. Seeking to redress the silence around ecologically-based anxiety in academic and public domains, and to extend the concepts of sadness, anger, and loss, Mourning Nature creates a lexicon for the recognition and expression of emotions related to environmental degradation. Exploring the ways in which grief is experienced in numerous contexts, this groundbreaking collection draws on classical, philosophical, artistic, and poetic elements to explain environmental melancholia. Understanding that it is not just how we mourn, but what we mourn that defines us, the authors introduce a new perspective on politics, ethics, and praxis in conservation, sustainability, and connections to and relationships with nature. An ecological elegy for a time of climatic and environmental upheaval, Mourning Nature challenges readers to turn devastating events into an opportunity for positive change."--

When Dara Kurtz was twenty-eight years old, her mother died of cancer. Dara entered a long period of intractable grief, while she was nevertheless also blessed with a warm family life and a successful career. Then, at the age of forty-two, she was herself diagnosed with cancer. An important part of Dara's recovery was renewing contact with the strong Jewish women who had loved and raised her by rereading their letters to her. These letters caused her to reflect on the love between mothers and daughters and how wisdom and traditions can be passed on from one generation to the next. In this memoir and self-help book, Dara shares funny, inspirational stories of family life, as well as tips and information to help others strengthen their relationships and find joy every day. --Adapted from book jacket flap
