This was not truly an environmentalist book. It was a face-palming waste of time. I hope anyone joining study groups for this series will sift through the B.S. to find any actual useful bits within. There have to be some, right? Or just avoid it altogether. Where there's merchandising (the back insert), there's profit-motive. It has some gentle ideas (the gardening stuff and valuing children's minds), but also some insane ones that could do violence (giving any thought to food is a sin? Someone's going to starve themselves to keep their mind pure for God.) Reading it was almost violence to my sensibilities. I saw regressive and sexist stuff, a definite Christian (Russian Orthodox, apparently) bent, internal contradictions, external contradictions, ego, and manipulation and just wow. Not at all what I was expecting. Like for a book. That anyone would actually publish. It might be progressive(ish) for an egotistical, bible-believing, condescending and somewhat off-his-rocker capitalist in Russia, but it's light-years behind what we know and are learning in science and spirituality and mysticism and the human condition and its relationship to the rest of nature. Except perhaps for the beehive thing. Letting nature do its thing is sound advice. But nature is our kin, not put here to serve "Man" because we are the epitome and purpose of all existence. *gag* (Yeah, I take exception to the translator's preface, too. He is also dualistically religious, and thought "humans" wasn't a worthy word because it shares a root with "humble and humus" and that it speaks of the "material/earthly rather than the divine" as if there is a separation there.) So many of my red flags were raised. This is very comparable, in origin and type of content, to texts written by ego-maniacal cult leaders. Please tell me people don't really buy into a book where extraterrestrials (that are less intelligent than Man, of course) visit in flying saucers made of kombucha. I recommend, instead, "A Reenchanted World: The Quest For A New Kinship With Nature" by James William Gibson, and "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. If you're interested in plant allies for health, see "Plant Spirit Medicine" by Eliot Cowan.
