Frances Moore LappÃ©
In ,EcoMind,, Frances Moore LappÃ©â€”a giant of the environmental movementâ€”confronts accepted wisdom of environmentalism. Drawing on the latest research from anthropology to neuroscience and her own field experience, she argues that the biggest challenge to human survival isnâ€™t our fossil fuel dependency, melting glaciers, or other calamities. Rather, itâ€™s our faulty way of thinking about these environmental crises that robs us of power. LappÃ© dismantles seven common â€œthought trapsâ€â€”from limits to growth to the failings of democracyâ€” that belie what we now know about nature, including our own, and offers contrasting â€œthought leapsâ€ that reveal our hidden power. Like her ,Diet for a Small Planet, classic, ,EcoMind, is challenging, controversial and empowering.
