"The Sacred Balance has a beautiful spirit."-E.O. Wilson With a new foreword from Robin Wall Kimmerer, New York Times-bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass-and an afterword from Bill McKibben-this special 25th anniversary edition of a beloved bestseller invites readers to see ourselves as part of nature, not separate. The world is changing at a relentless pace. How can we slow down and act from a place of respect for all living things? The Sacred Balance shows us how. In this extensively updated new edition, David Suzuki reflects on the increasingly radical changes in science and nature-from the climate crisis to peak oil and the rise in clean energy-and examines what they mean for humankind. He also reflects on what we have learned by listening to Indigenous leaders, whose knowledge of the natural world is profound, and whose peoples are on the frontlines of protecting land and water around the world. Drawing on his own experiences and those of others who have put their beliefs into action, The Sacred Balance combines science, philosophy, spirituality, and Indigenous knowledge to offer concrete suggestions for creating an ecologically sustainable future by rediscovering and addressing humanity's basic needs.

> … dans des pages d'une lucidité hors du commun, David Suzuki montre la voie pour que se rétablisse un rapport équitable entre l'homme et la nature, et que perdure cet équilibre sacré essentiel à leur survie.

> Suzuki explique comment notre monde actuel découle de milliards d'années d'évolution d'un univers qui en vue d'autre. En plus de nous aider à mieux comprendre notre époque, ce livre nous rappelle que l'heure est grave et propose des solutions pour que survive notre humanité.
--Damien Girard, Montréal (ICI.Radio-Canada.ca)

> Suzuki nous démontre avec candeur que nous sommes relié à tous ce qui nous entoure, de l'infiniment petit à l'infiniment grand.
--Dominic Lapointe, Mont-Carmel (ICI.Radio-Canada.ca)

> Lire résolument optimiste mais lucide sur l'avenir de notre environnement et la redéfinition de notre place dans la nature
--Martin Jean, Montréal (ICI.Radio-Canada.ca)

> C'est un ouvrage magnifique qui célèbre la vie de la planète Terre, dans une langue scientifique qui demeure toutefois très accessible. À la manière des premiers hommes, on redécouvre "l'équilibre sacré" à travers les différents éléments comme l'air, la terre, l'eau, le feu.
--Suzanne Jean, Longueuil (ICI.Radio-Canada.ca)

> Suzuki propose des solutions pratiques pour satisfaire les besoins fondamentaux des individus et pour concevoir un mode de vie qui soit écologiquement viable.
--René Macé Papineau, Mont-Tremblant (ICI.Radio-Canada.ca)

> Excellent livre scientifique, bien documenté qui nous permet de réfléchir sur l'équlibre entre l'homme et la nature (philosophiquement).
--Caroline Lapointe, Ste-Julie (ICI.Radio-Canada.ca)

> Suzuki démontre l'équilibre entre l'homme et la nature et permet l'approfondissement de ce lien sacré. Il propose des solutions concrètes vers un mode de vie écologiquement viable afin de satisfaire nos besoins fondamentaux. L'équilibre sacré est une méditation sur nos modes de vie et notre projet de société.
--Christiane Fontaine, Sherbrooke (ICI.Radio-Canada.ca)

> L'EQUILIBRE SACRÉ, Redécouvrir sa place dans la nature, par David Suzuki. — La crise écologique qui nous menace est bien réelle et David Suzuki a réussi à faire un ouvrage qui combine réflexion philosophiques, anthropologiques, données scientifiques et vulgarisation. Après avoir lu son livre, nul ne peut se sentir indifférent au sort de notre planète qui est aussi le nôtre. C'est un tour d'horizon de la nature et de la conditon humaine à travers les pays et les époques ainsi qu'un cri du coeur pour du changement.
--Geneviève Marleau, Montréal (ICI.Radio-Canada.ca)

> Tout à fait d'accord avec ce choix! Excellent livre sur le sujet et — malgré le titre — pas du tout ésotérique. Il nous aide à comprendre à quel point nous faisons partie intégrante de cet environnement. Ce n'est pas un monde parallèle. C'est NOTRE monde. Et c'est NOTRE époque.
--Julie Marcil (ICI.Radio-Canada.ca)

An acclaimed geneticist artfully explains the diverse web of life, our kinship with other species, and the crucial need of our time to make Nature the ultimate concern of society at large and for our personal lives. The modern scientific world view has created an alienation of the spirit, since now matter & spirit are considered completely separate things, when they once were considered as one. How to preserve the scientific method which has so greatly improved our understanding of how the world works, while restoring a sense of the spiritual?

A walk in the garden, for example, may be utterly subjective, but it is through total engagement with the relationships of plants, soil, sun, water, insects, and other garden features, perceived by eye, ear, and physical touch, that we gain an experience that "puts spirit back into the fingertips." Such direct experience in nature allows us to feel that we are whole beings, not merely minds trapped in some sort of bio-mechanical body, allowing us to engage in a true conversation with the Earth.

For the author this is only the beginning, however. He advocates achieving an ecological vision, understanding that a simple tree, for example, is far more than trunk, leaves, and roots, but includes the water that moves through it, the sunlight that sustains it, the earth and air that support it, the insects that fertilize it, the fungi that help it obtain nutrients, and so on.

E. O. Wilson, author of The Diversity of Life, said of this book, "(It) is the most complete expression to date of an environmental ethic from one of the world's leading conservation writers, combining science, theology, poetry and philosophy to express a world view toward which the human species must shift in the twenty-first century. The Sacred Balance has a beautiful spirit."
