Abstract: This new book offers an interesting vision of a new legal system, one aimed at promoting sustainable living on the planet. The vision is supported with an interesting and rich discussion comparing the history of scientific thought to the history of legal thought, noting that legal thinking has not yet evolved from mechanistic traditional individual rights centered thinking to a focus on networks and relationships. Yet it needs to do so to move to a new conception of “eco-law” which will support sustainable living and regeneration of the ecosystem. The vision is appealing and the presentation effectively sets the stage for further discussion. Eventually more will be needed to support the adoption of a new “eco-law” vision.
