Along the way, she unfolds a surprising new take on the story of our time: how the germ theory of disease joined with a profit-based economy, and unwittingly led to a \"sterilization\" of medicine, agriculture, and even our social lives. This 150-year detour has brought about the near destruction of our climate as well as a great forgetting of the power of connection. By documenting a scientific understanding of the intelligence of the whole, Pershouse nudges us awake with a hopeful view and shows us how to reclaim the rich, \"fertile\" lives we are meant for.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Mycelium Books","offers":[{"title":"Ecology of Care: Medicine, Agriculture, Money, and the Quiet Power of Human and Microbial Communities | Peter Donovan | Paperback | 9780692613030 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks E 1760931","offer_id":49229582499992,"sku":"1760931","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71vTvL8h7AL.jpg?v=1781219281","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/ecology-of-care-medicine-agriculture-money-and-the-quiet-power-of-human-and-microbial-communities","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
