Overview

Living Deep Ecology: A Bioregional Journey is an exploration of our evolving relationship with a specific bioregion. It is set in Humboldt County in northwestern California, in the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion. By focusing on a specific bioregion and reflecting on anthropogenic changes in this bioregion over three decades, Bill Devall engages the reader in asking deeper questions about the meaning we find in Nature. He addresses questions such as how do we relate the facts and theories presented by science with our feelings, our intimacy, and our sense of Place as we dwell in a specific bioregion. This book engages the reader to consider our place in Nature. Devall approaches the bioregion not from the perspective of agencies and government, but from the perspective of the landscape itself.

With the courage of intellectual conviction, Bill Devall's work reminds us that humanity is not the central focus of existence, and that humans are inescapably intertwined with the whole of nature. After many years of bioregional living and exploration in the Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion, Bill Devall left behind the ecology of wisdom: Let the rivers live. Bill's trenchant analysis reveals how bioregionalists can begin to re-inhabit and live deeply in the way indigenous peoples always lived. -- Pat Lauderdale, Arizona State University
