This Place on Earth Home and The Practice of Permanence by Alan Thein Durning is a journey towards and blueprint for a way of life that can last. The author traversed the planet as a researcher for Worldwatch Institute and returned to the Pacific Northwest to settle. This trip home changed his view from global to local and the power of home. The urban ecologist pursues people and ideas that lead to a dynamic society. Stories from ordinary people such as a cobbler who makes a stand against everything disposable, and mothers who fights to get crosswalks built the idea is to get suburbia to function like a village. Goals to reconcile people and nature, rediscover community and more inspire readers as society moves forward.
