Book excerpt: Award-winning author Kathleen Dean Moore believes we live in a world of islands­-both real and figurative­­mapped out by generations of Western philosophers whose mission was, it seems, to steadfastly remove humans from nature. The result is a loneliness that isolates us from ourselves, our families, and our natural world. Through her signature essays, Moore maps out a different philosophy about what it means to connect, to love, and to live in a culture where islands are truly linked beneath the surface.
