About Uprisings for the Earth
Praise for Uprisings for the Earth "Uprisings for the Earth creates new, vibrant ground that holds within it keys to finding our way to a meaningful and vital relationship with the natural world in modern civilization. Osprey Orielle Lake's unique, personal, and inspiring perspective on current and historical events makes us proud to be human as we search for self-responsibility and renewal while defying apathy and cynicism. Her book presents a philosophy that is both rich in nature poetics and filled with good sense. Within compelling and dynamic verse, Lake makes a call to discover and uphold what she has named an ‘Earth etiquette.' This is a call we need to answer, and Lake makes us thrilled to do it." ~ Riane Eisler, author The Chalice and The Blade and The Real Wealth of Nations. "If you are searching for your 'ground of being' in these turbulent times, this is the book to read. Osprey Orielle Lake shares with us how to listen to the natural world in our midst and offers some penetrating philosophical nuggets, while tantalizing us occasionally with her poetic flare. The result is a healthy dose of wisdom and a dynamic process for renewing our cultural narrative in a time of societal and environmental change. Uprisings for the Earth is the kind of ecological literacy we need today." ~ Tony Clarke, co-author Blue Gold and author Tar Sands Showdown. "Seeing both the peril and the promise of this moment in time, Osprey Orielle Lake brings us stories infused with her passion for life. Like winds off the mountains, they renew our energy and summon our will to rise up together for the sake of Earth." ~ Joanna Macy, author World as Lover, World as Self.

"In these times of great economic, political and environmental dislocation, Osprey Orielle Lake's Uprisings for the Earth challenges us to rise to the call of history and recommit ourselves individually and collectively, to creating a safe and sustainable future and that we do it with joy and laughter and love and awe and celebration!" ~ Belvie Rooks, Growing a Global Heart
"This is one of the most important books I have read in recent years. Uprisings for the Earth is powerfully inspiring and provides an essential road map to transform our connection with nature and culture at a critical time in human history. The stories are personal and open both the heart and the mind. You will be better for having read this jewel of a book." ~ John Gray, author Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus
"Uprisings for the Earth's style may be particularly effective in pointing to ways that a revitalized American culture can contribute towards the establishment of a sorely needed Earth-honoring global culture. Lake's work invokes symbols and events like the American Revolution, the Statue of Liberty and the contribution of US women to democratic culture that appeal directly to a populous whose high level of consumption is contributing disproportionally to the ecological crisis. Given the hold that American culture has on people around the world today and the way she demonstrates a role for that culture in fostering partnership, sustainability, balance, equity and harmony, Lake's vision is an especially cogent contribution to the contemporary literature on nature and culture."
