Learning the Language of Creation

<P><B>A vision for realizing the promise of integral ecology and putting it into practice. </B><br> <br>In his landmark encyclical on care for creation, <I>Laudato Si’</I>, Pope Francis popularized the idea of integral ecology by connecting contemporary ecological concerns and church teachings on creation addressed by Catholic Social Thought. In <I>Learning the Language of Creation</I>, Franciscan Sister Damien Marie Savino, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and earth sciences, frames integral ecology as a pilgrimage guided by a process of listening and learning the language of creation. In this book, she offers a new way of thinking about creation, human beings, and the relationship between them to realize the promise of integral ecology put into practice.</P>
