When Heaven and Earth Embrace: How do we engage spiritually in an emerging universe? is a profound exploration of how we can engage spiritually with the evolving universe by merging contemporary scientific understanding with a robust ecotheology. This book posits that a vision embracing both Heaven and Earth, informed by the latest scientific discoveries, is essential for meaningful spiritual engagement. Such a vision recognises the interconnectedness of Heaven and Earth while also respecting their unique differences. This balanced approach is further enriched by an ecospiritual practice-an open, attentive, and aware engagement with the divine presence permeating all aspects of existence.The potential of this vision to drive action for justice for Earth is especially critical in our times of ecological devastation. The book takes the Earth Link project, active since 2000, as its starting point. This project has pioneered the journey of integrating ecospirituality with Christian ecotheology, providing a practical framework for motivating and sustaining action for environmental justice. By presenting this integration, When Heaven and Earth Embrace fills a significant gap in contemporary theological discourse, offering both inspiration and practical guidance for those committed to ecological justice.Central to the book are the enhanced principles that guide this integrated approach. These principles are not only theoretical but are also designed to inspire and inform practical action. They provide a roadmap for individuals and groups seeking to align their spiritual practices with ecological awareness and activism. The principles emphasise the importance of recognizing the divine in all creation, fostering a deep sense of connection with the Earth, and acting to protect and preserve it.In addition to these guiding principles, the book includes study and discussion guides tailored for both individual reflection and group use. These guides are designed to facilitate deeper understanding and engagement with the concepts presented in the book. They encourage readers to reflect on their own spiritual practices and consider how they can incorporate ecological awareness into their daily lives. By fostering a communal approach to ecospirituality, the book aims to build a supportive network of individuals committed to environmental justice.When Heaven and Earth Embrace is a call to action, urging readers to see the Earth not just as a resource to be used, but as a sacred entity intertwined with their spiritual existence. The book challenges readers to adopt a more holistic view of the Universe, one that acknowledges the intricate connections between the spiritual and the ecological. Through this perspective, it hopes to inspire sustained action for the well-being of the planet, driven by a deep sense of spiritual responsibility and connection.By bridging the gap between contemporary science and Christian ecotheology, When Heaven and Earth Embrace offers a comprehensive and transformative vision for engaging with the world. It invites readers to participate in a journey of spiritual and ecological awakening, fostering a deeper sense of purpose and commitment to justice for the Earth

    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...
