Ancillary Review of Books reviews Finding the Numinous: An Ecocritical Look at Dune and The Lord of the Rings.
“Perhaps the most important contribution of Finding the Numinous is how it shows that Tolkien and Herbert’s worlds can inspire us to feel a renewed reverence for our own world. Furthermore, they compel us to work toward emulating the positive ecological relationships that make the best environments in both LOTR and Dune so healthy, rich, and sustainable.”—Ancillary Review of Books
