Why read it?

1 author picked Everybody's Story as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Philosopher Loyal Rue, an important mentor of mine, coined and developed the concept that our science-based understandings of cosmic, planetary, and biological evolution represent Everybody’s Story, a notion he first proposed in Amythia: Crisis in the Natural History of Western Culture. He writes with lucidity, grace, and deep wisdom, and is frequently quoted in my book.

From Ursula's list on an ecospiritual orientation.
