Preface by the late Ninian Smart, one of the most eminent scholars of world religion
Based on extensive research and fieldwork carried out in India and S.E.Asia
'This is a deep and intense book, written with empathy for everything involved, and is of vital global, social significance.' - Revd Mary Sellers, Church Times
'Gosling's work is clearly and passionately written, betraying careful scholarship in science and religious studies. It should help to clarify the role of religious traditions in increasing ecological awareness, and, it is to be hoped, in promoting some resolution of the social and environmental problems our world faces' - Times Higher Education Supplement
'The book is a must in any serious library dealing with ecology in India and Southeast Asia' - G. Gispert-Sauch, VJTR
'... a book which should allow Hinduism and Buddhism, and activists from India and Thailand, to challenge those of us from religions of the book.' - Andrew Wingate, Theology
