About this item

Kallman and Ferorelli provide a compelling and compassionate framework for working through seemingly insoluble dilemmas, beginning with the decision to have a child, but not ending there. The book ends with a commonsense guide on how to make change happen. -- Amitav Ghosh, author of The Nutmeg's Curse; Parables for a Planet in CrisisI know so many young people trying to figure out what a burning world means for their most important choices--they email me often, to ask if they should have kids. Now I'll be able to send them this wonderful book, which manages to be both shrewd and kind; it understands on the deepest level that when we think of the world only as a series of individual decisions, those decisions become overwhelming, and that the only alternative is to build joyful and humane societies that work for all of us, including those who haven't gotten here yet! -- Bill McKibben, Founder of Third Act and author of The Flag, The Cross and The Station WagonEcological grief is an impossible world of feeling.
