Scientists, who study global warming and the impacts it increasingly will be having on our planet, consistently express concern about survival. If our global home suffers even a moderate percentage of the problems about which scientists warn us, all earth's life forms will be in survival mode. How shall we respond? In this book, the author summarizes the changing realities of global warming and explores newly revealed knowledge about how humans have survived over time. We are learning that our natural moral abilities are resources for living through the difficult times that are ahead on a changing planet. These fresh understandings provide a positive way to view human morality; they give us hope that survival mode will not devolve into warring nations, communities, families, individuals. Grace D. Cumming, PhD, combines a scholarly approach to science and ethics with a unique perspective shaped by both 30 years of nursing and her lifetime experiences as a daughter, mother, and grandmother. The results will surprise you.
