About This Item
New York: Norton, 2024. First edition. New/New. 254pp. Octavo [23.5cm]. Blue boards with title stamped in gilt on spine. "Emerging from Millet's quarter century of wildlife and climate advocacy, 'We Loved it All' marries scenes from her life with moments of nearness to 'the others' the animals and plants with whom we share the earth. Accounts of fears and failures, jobs and friendships, childhood and motherhood are interspersed with exquisite accounts of nonhumans and arresting meditations on the power of story to shape the future.
Seeking to understand why we immerse ourselves in the domestic and immediate, turning away from more sweeping views, she examines how grand cultural myths can deny our longing for the company of nature and deprive us of its charisma and inspiration. In a thrilling distillation of experience and emotion, she evinces the familiar sense of feeling both well-meaning and powerless a creature subject to forces that are baffling in their immensity. The fear and grief of extinction and climate change, Millet suggests, are forms of love that might be turned to resistance." .
