David is co-editor of a recently published collection of scholarly and creative essays, A Book of Ecological Virtues: Living Well in the Anthropocene.He and Am discuss themes in Ecological Virtues, including Aristotle's notions of virtue ethics, and the grounding of virtue ethics in other thought traditions. They also speak about David's colleagues' contributions to the book that deal with death literacy and the process of forging soulful connection with places through poetry.Resources:— A Book of Ecological Virtues: Living Well in the Anthropocene (University of Regina Press, 2020): https://uofrpress.ca/Books/A/A-Book-of-Ecological-Virtues—"What Are Your 'Ecological Virtues'?" - review from The Tyee: https://thetyee.ca/Culture/2020/09/22/What-Are-Your-Ecological-Virtues/
