Nobody is Perfect
Nobody is perfect, and even though I have made every effort to research thoroughly and cite all sources, I may have overlooked some information. If you believe there are any inaccuracies or omissions, please feel free to bring them to my attention. Your suggestions for any necessary additions or corrections will be taken seriously and, if necessary, incorporated into the next print edition of the book.
Corrections & Notes
Page 46 — Addition: In 1637, the famous philosopher René Descartes published his Discourse on the Method. This work marked the beginning of Western thought on the division between mind and matter, and between man and animal. Since then, everything outside the human mind has been considered as mere material, devoid of life. Man has been seen as the only source of knowledge and light in the universe, with the authority to manage and exploit the earth without limits for his own gain and convenience. This has shaped the authoritarian attitude of European man towards the earth; to manage and exploit the earth without limits and encumbrances for his profit and convenience.
