Right Relationship
By Peter B. Brown
and Geoffrey Garver

Earth Care
by Margaret Read Macdonald

“Right relationship provides a guiding ethic for people wishing to lead fulfilling lives as creative and integrated participants in human society and the commonwealth of life as a whole. It is akin to what some would call sustainability though it goes much deeper. Right relationship offers a guidance system for functioning in harmony with scientific reality and enduring ethical traditions.” (Right Relationship, p. 4)
