The extinction of rights and the extantion of ghehds
The need to move away from the grip of the Anthropocene in all of its manifestations is now urgent. As Einstein might have said, ‘you can't solve the problems of the Anthropocene by using the same anthropocentric thinking that created those problems in the first place’. In addition to scientific and technological change, there must be, in lock step, cultural, ethical and legal change. Radical change is needed in all of these domains as many of ou…
Negating Solastalgia: An Emotional Revolution from the Anthropocene to the Symbiocene
I shall situate the emerging literature on eco-grief, climate grief, and ecological grief within the concept of solastalgia. I argue that the concept of solastalgia, as created and developed to the present, has strong affinities with the eco-grief literature. Solastalgia, the lived experience of negative environmental change, has much to offer those who seek clarification about the relationship between the state of human emotions and the state of…
Conclusion
This chapter presents an overview and evaluation of all that has been covered in the previous chapters. The power of love in human affairs is given prominence as is the idea that love plus secular spirituality in the form of the Ghedeist is crucial to the future of all humanity. However, as has been the case in other chapters, this chapter has supported the unifying power of human love with the very best of the scientific knowledge gained from th…
Solastalgia: The Homesickness You Have at Home
This chapter defines the author's term solastalgia as the lived experience of negative environmental change. The origins of this concept are explained via an account of the impact of coal mining in the Upper Hunter Valley of New South Wales in Australia. The derivation of solastalgia from nostalgia (homesickness) and other roots is explained. The original research base of solastalgia is described as are the many applications of the concept world-…
A Sumbiography: A Summation of My Green Past
A "sumbiography" is the term used in this book to explain the cumulative influences on a life, from childhood to adulthood, which have culminated in the author writing a book about the intimate relationships between humans, other forms of life, and nature. These influences include extended family and the nature writers and their narratives that have come to influence a life. A sumbiography explains how one attains the ability to feel, first hand,…
The Psychoterratic in the Symbiocene: Positive Earth Emotions
The Symbiocene, or period of re-integration between humans and the rest of nature, is the second of the master themes used to define Earth emotions. The chapter constructs the idea of the Symbiocene from the latest scientific discoveries made about symbiosis and its centrality in maintaining life. Within this new meme, positive Earth emotions re-emerge as the defining characteristics of what it means to be human within the collective called life.…
Gaia and the Ghedeist: Secular Spirituality
The chapter reinforces the role of positive earth emotions by putting them all within the context of a secular land or earth 'spirituality'. Negative Earth emotions can only manifest themselves if humans have a fundamental attachment to place. The chapter forwards the concept of the 'Ghedeist' to explain the deepest and most meaningful place relationships people can have. Rather than rely on or appropriate such spiritual affinities to the Earth d…
The Psychoterratic in the Anthropocene: Negative Earth Emotions
The Anthropocene, or period of human dominance of nature, is used as a master theme enabling the identification of a set of environmental conditions conducive to negative emotional psychoterratic states. The chapter considers the implications of an 'emotional death' occurring between humans and nature. It then gives an account of the known negative psychoterratic states in the existing literature. In addition to the concepts of nostalgia and sola…
Generation Symbiocene: Creating the New World
This chapter puts the case that, although human development pressures and the all-encompassing power of the Anthropocene appear inevitable, they are not, and an optimistic future lies before humanity. The positive emotions and a positive spirituality combined, offer a clear alternative to an ecoapocalypse for people to choose as they chart the future course of their lives in the twenty-first century. A new generation, Generation Symbiocene, schoo…
Earth Emotions: New Words for a New World
'Earth Emotions' is an invitation to the reader to participate in the emergent global drama between the emotionally charged forces of creation and destruction. Both sets of emotions are needed for the survival and the flourishing of the species, however, we live in an epoch where the forces of destruction are overwhelming positive or creative emotions. The name for this period of human dominance is the 'Anthropocene'. The book promotes an antidot…
Earth Emotions: New Words for a New World
An account of the conflict between our positive and negative emotional relationships to the Earth and how they will be resolved for the Symbiocene, the next period in the history of the Earth
Climate change threats to family farmers' sense of place and mental wellbeing: A case study from the Western Australian Wheatbelt
Ecopsychology in the Symbiocene
The “eco” in ecopsychology reveals to us a lot about the future direction that ecopsychology can go in. With the integration of oikos and psyche we have the emergence of a transdisciplinary space, the study of which can inform us about our deep interconnectedness with the earth, our home. While oikos was originally relevant to the economic management of the ancient Greek household, it is now integral to the ecological management of the whole eart…

The Ethics of Assisted Colonization in the Age of Anthropogenic Climate Change
Jumping to Conclusions? Media Coverage of Jumps Racing Debates in Australia
Should jumps racing be banned? This paper examines print media coverage of the future of “jumps racing” in 21 Australian newspapers between February 2008 and December 2009, a period of intense debate over its future due to high-profile incidents of horse deaths, campaigning by animal activists, and increased media coverage. In November 2009, Racing Victoria Limited banned jumps racing following the 2010 season but later opened the possibility of …

Watercourses and Discourses: Coalmining in the Upper Hunter Valley, New South Wales
Water is a resource that both unites and divides people in the Upper Hunter Valley of New South Wales, where many communities are facing the prospect of large‐scale open‐cut coalmining developments on productive mixed use land, or already live in proximity to mines and power stations. This article analyses conflicts over a proposed coal mine at Bickham in the Upper Hunter Valley, by contrasting the various protagonists' discourses of water scarci…
