The 1st Edition of Unmoored Yet Unbroken, edited by Susan Bodnar, Chrystal L. Dunker, and Jean Kayira, gathers global narratives to address living and practicing within an ecologically disoriented era. The volume examines human-nature interdependence through direct observations spanning urban, suburban, rural, and wild settings. It analyzes the psychological impact of climate change while detailing collective practices centered on resilience and relational care.
The content synthesizes core thematic arcs surrounding place attachment, loss of place, and human disconnection from the natural world. Including a foreword written by Glenn A. Albrecht, the publication earned praise from Peter H. Kahn, Jr. as an important contribution to the broader ecopsychology literature.
This 304-page release supports scholars, university students, environmental activists, and general readers examining human relationships with changing habitats. Published by John Wiley & Sons P&T, the book offers an accessible, structured framework for understanding ecological grief, place loss, and community care.
