I did savor many parts of this book, especially McCallum's well-selected poems. The reason I didn't rate it more highly, however, is because sometimes I found his narrative overly reactionary as opposed to solutions oriented. I completely agree with his premise -- we are in desperate need of "ecological intelligence," but what I would like to learn more about is how such intelligence would look in actual practice, such as in systems design, or in everyday life. He spends most of his time delineating the need for such intelligence, and in pushing back against embedded perspectives. I'm already convinced. I want to hear more about how to live it! Overall, I think this book is a good reminder to those of us who desire to be more mindful in our lives, and I did like his emphasis on the language of poetry.
