"In her clear, intelligent voice, Serena Anderlini-D Onofrio
demonstrates that no law of love conservation exists. The more we
love, the safer we are and the more love we receive. Read "Gaia and
the New Politics of Love" for what it is: an original idea, a
serious, scholarly antidote to the lovelessness that makes us
miserable on this liveliest of planets."
Lynn Margulis, winner of the National Medal of Science and author
of "Symbiotic Planet: A New Look at Evolution"
"This book is a must-read for all those who want the human species
to not only survive, but flourish in harmony with the Earth. If you
read one book this year in the interest of reorienting your
perspective on how we are going to save ourselves and Gaia
interpersonally, environmentally, and politically, let it be "Gaia
and the New Politics of Love.""
C.T. Butler, founder of Food Not Bombs
"In this fascinating book about the ecology of love for a
sustainable planet, Anderlini-D Onofrio does exactly what she sets
out to do: show how freedom of erotic expression, an integral part
of sexual freedom, is a fundamental human right. Don t miss this
superb read."
Ricci Joy Levy, executive director of the Woodhull Freedom
Foundation
"Serena Anderlini-D Onofrio has a gift for connecting the general
and the particular, so as to make even the most global concepts
like ecofeminism relevant to our everyday lives. And this is
essential to her important theme that the way each of us loves and
partners with each other affects the breath and blood of the very
Earth on which we live."
Terisa Greenan, creator of Family, the polyamory Web series
""Gaia and the New Politics of Love" is a groundbreaking work that
addresses cultural structures, artifacts, and their intersections.
Anderlini-D Onofrio allows us all to conceive of a world where
people take risks when beautiful, necessary human and planetary
lives are at stake."
Elisabeth Sheff, PhD, sociologist and expert in the study of
polyamory, Georgia State University
""Gaia and the New Politics of Love" is a welcome intervention in
contemporary discussions about the future of our planet.
Anderlini-D Onofrio helps us envision a world that is more
compassionate, more equitable indeed, more loving. That this
scholarly, intelligent author convinces us to think about polyamory
as a possible solution to so many vexing problems from ecology to
civil rights is further testament to both her daring and her
rhetorical power."
Jonathan Alexander, PhD, professor of English, University of
California, Irvine, and general editor, "The Journal of
Bisexuality"
"With this profound yet accessible book, Serena Anderlini-D Onofrio
shows strong interconnections among seemingly disparate areas of
public debate. Polyamory, she argues, is not only good for those
who practice it, but even for the entire planet. In fact, she
argues, love, sex, the environment, nature conservancy, health,
peace, feminism, human rights, and happiness are all intertwined
with each other. The author addresses delicate issues with clarity,
strength, and courage. I hope that as many people as possible read
this book so that its ideas, which are essential to save our
planet, may spread as widely as possible."
Carlo Consiglio, professor of zoology, University of Rome
The author s departure from mainstream politics of thought will
keep you turning the pages Author Serena Anderlini-D Onofrio takes
a renewed look at the body of Gaia, linking human intimacy with
global ecology, and positing a new way to think about health and
love.
"New Consciousness Review
" This electrifying work will be seen as a turning point, on the
order of "The Aquarian Conspiracy," "The Greening of America," "The
Earth in Balance" as a seminal turning point in the paradigm with
which we as a species face our existence on Earth. "
