What are "meadowlark" values? Alarmed by the disappearance of the meadowlark from his neighbourhood, economist James Eggart began pondering the economic and ecological factors at work. The result is a life-affirming philosophy.

Every once in a while, a book comes along that just makes so much sense we have to publish it. This is one such book. Alarmed by ecological changes taking place in his area (notably, the disappearance of the meadowlark), economist James Eggert started pondering the economic and ecological factors at work. The result is a life-affirming new philosophy, based on what Eggert, author of a leading economics textbook, calls "meadowlark values." A new perspective on education, consumption, work, our evolutionary history, and in the end, what it means to be human, "Song of The Meadowlark" is hopeful, inspiring, ultimately celebratory. Foreword by Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature and Maybe One.
