Book excerpt: Arguing that current conflicts in the war on terrorism are doing tremendous damage to future generations, this timely analysis draws on the work of non-violent leaders like Gandhi to provide alternatives to responding to increased levels of fear and anxiety with violence. Seizing on the surprising example of Northwest salmon as a paradigm, contemporary clashes like the War on Terror are dissected with an eye toward the political ecosystems they endanger. Also included is a meditation on what citizens can do to change their own political ecosystems by considering the long-term political and ecological effects of the even the smallest decisions.
