A Kirkus review is one of the most important reviews a book can get. If any book doesn’t display a Kirkus review it’s likely because the review wasn’t flattering. After giving The Great Healing a glowing review — see book cover below — Kirkus has written an article about me this year for their magazine and interviewed me twice.
This one, for their Earth Day special issue remains my favorite. Thank you Kirkus!

“Erickson’s ability to connect climate science, copious data, and public policies with the lived experiences of people and other creatures sets this book apart. His emphasis on humane and caring methods reminds readers that winning hearts and minds is a prerequisite to capturing carbon. An inspired synthesis of environmental, cultural, economic, and political calls to action."

“The ambitious book’s five chapters highlight compassionate approaches toward animals, self, the land, community, and democracy. Erickson’s writing displays passion, clarity, and a grasp of every topic he tackles.”
