I read aloud and recorded this long-form essay to my science writer wife, Connie Barlow, and we both loved it! I highly recommend taking the time to read or listen to it.

Thank you michael b. Dowd for these recordings.  They live on as your legacy to us humans and  guide us to keep fossil fuels in the ground now!

TEXT: https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Progress-Toward-Sustainable-Future/dp/1611684161
A well written and vitally important articulation of the ecological worldview necessary for genuine 'deep sustainability' and a devastating critique of human-centered notions of "progress". Perfect companion to William R. Catton Jr,'s masterful book, "Overshoot: The Ecological Basis of Revolutionary Change".

ALSO HERE: www.FacingExtinction.com.au This is a superbly written, big hearted essay regarding accepting inevitable contraction and collapse (and possible extinction) and still having a great life, healthy relationships, peace of mind, and motivation to lovingly act on behalf of life.

Jem Bendell - Deep Adaptation 2020 - A Map For Navigating Climate Tragedy

Michael Dowd died October 2023. This soundcloud list is a substantial part of his legacy. Here he shares, via his voice, the major books, blogs, and other texts that instructed his own worldview shift into recognizing the multiple causes of the civilizational collapse underway and wisdom for moving into a postdoom perspective of clarity, calm, and compassionate love-in-action. As a Postdoom pastor, Michael aimed to support others in deeply adapting to abrupt climate change and societal and ecological breakdowns.
