Notes

Epigraph: ...we most certainly should, as a rule, strive to recognize our kinship with nature. At the same time...we will never be able fully to realize this ideal - not as long as there are mountains that tower over us, oceans that separate us, hurricanes that could kill us. On an even more basic level, as long as there is an 'I', there will always be an 'other'.
-Christopher Hitt (1999)
Epigraph: To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves as riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold - brothers who know now they are truly brothers.
