The Metaphysics of Protection is a lyrical paen to the Earth and the complex roots of her current biological crisis. This lean tome is a masterful and illuminating treatise focused on the underpinnings of the human condition and the prospects for a viable future for all sentient beings. Embracing dozens of disciplines, rich with intertwining historical, scientific, anthropological, aesthetic and ecological epiphanies, this Codex represents the distillation of a lifetime of reflection, as well as field research in more than 100 countries, by the two Authors, Michael Charles Tobias and Jane Gray Morrison.
