Reviews of “The Earth's Blanket”

Sort By

“[Turner’s] writing is as accessible as it is fluid, and the book functions almost as an academic narrative. …The Earth’s Blanket is a journey through cultural history and will undoubtedly inspire all who read it. First Nations culture is rich with connections to the land and provides a blueprint for sustainability that must become central to the way we see our world… [Turner] shows how concepts of wealth and value must change – not only for the Earth to survive, but for people to regain a sense of place and community.”

Martlet: UVic's Independent Newspaper, Nov 1, 2007

“Scholarly in its thinking but accessible in its writing, The Earth’s Blanket combines first-person research with insightful critiques of Western concepts of environmental management… and has the power to transform our way of thinking about Earth and our place on it.”

“…a work of environmental anthropology that is critical for our times.”
