Recommended. --CHOICE Author InformationMarybeth Lorbiecki, M.A., has long been involved in the field of ecological ethics and conservation. Currently she is editor and the director of Interfaith Oceans (formerly Interfaith Ocean Ethics Campaign). Her book Following St. Francis: John Paul II's Call for Ecological Action (Rizzoli Ex Libris, 2014) launched her into worldwide conversation about the intersection of faith and ecology that has gained more momentum through the works of Popes John Paul II and Pope Francis, which she highlights (preparing readers for Pope Francis' encyclical on care of creation). At the same time, she has remained a respected expert in the field as demonstrated by her ongoing speaking and writing engagements on Leopold and his land ethic. She has also served as an adjunct professor at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Besides Lorbiecki's nonfiction works for adults, she has over 25 award-winning children's books, including The Prairie that Nature Built (Dawn Publications, 2014) and Planet Patrol: A Kids' Action Guide for Earthcare (Cooper Square Publishing, 2005), and Things Natural, Wild, and Free: The Life of Aldo Leopold (Fulcrum Press, 2012), which honored as a John Burroughs Nature Award for Young Readers. Most of her books explore the relationships between people and the land, and to each other. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
