About this book

Cosmic Ecology embarks on an ambitious journey to merge the vast realms of astronomy and ecological interconnections, inviting readers to explore the origins and intricate balances of our existence on Earth within the broader cosmos. Drawing from over two decades of experience as an astronomer at the California Institute of Technology's Owens Valley Radio Observatory, the author delves into the powerful insights derived from living amidst the Sierra Nevada's natural beauty and rich biodiversity. This setting, paired with a career rooted in astronomical discovery, sparked the quest to connect Earth's ecological relationships to the cosmic stage, forming the foundation of this book. The author invites readers to ponder their origins and marvel at the unique phenomenon of consciousness that allows for such introspection. Without delving into the detailed debates or complexities that often accompany scientific inquiry, Cosmic Ecology is designed to maintain focus on its central theme: the interconnectedness of life and its environmental contexts on Earth and beyond. It calls for a heightened awareness of our ecological situation, stressing the urgency for sustainable solutions. With unyielding optimism, the author believes that, through collective attention and contribution, humanity can address the pressing environmental and existential challenges of our time. The book does not claim to provide definitive answers but rather serves as a clarion call for readers to reflect, engage, and add to the collective understanding of our place in the cosmos. This title was originally published in 1983.
