By turns elegiac, inspiring, and passionate, The Open Space of Democracy offers a fresh perspective on the critical questions of our time. Review: Beautiful Read - A simple, yet powerful book that speaks to a healthy planet and a better political climate. Review: Words sorely needed - Oh my. This book actually rates 10 stars in today's world. In this slim book, Terry Tempest Williams is calling for community, discussion, breaking out of boxes and labels and working together to solve our problems in democracy's open space. Throughout the book she defines what that open space should be and what would create it. How disheartening it is to know how far in the other direction we have gone in the 3 years since it has been published. "In the open space of democracy, we engage the qualities of inquiry, intuition, and love as we become a dynamic citizenry, unafraid to exercise our shared knowledge and power. We can dissent. We can vote. We can step forward in times of terror with a confounding calm that will shatter fear and complacency." As was illustrated in a recent 60 Minutes piece, Terry Tempest Williams describes what a trip to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge can do to open minds and souls. "The power of nature is the power of a life in association. Nothing stands alone. On my haunches, I see a sunburst lichen attached to limestone; algae and fungi are working together to break down rock into soil. I cannot help but recognize a radical form of democracy at play. Each organism is rooted in its own biological niche, drawing its power from its relationship to other organisms. An equality of being contributes to an ecological state of health and succession." It is very unfortunate that this book is out of print. I wish it would be re-issued and distributed widely. The open space of democracy is waiting for us. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #813,505 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #841 in Democracy (Books) #1,007 in Political Commentary & Opinion #12,475 in Sociology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 20 Reviews | ## Images ![The Open Space of Democracy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lry1EeYhL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Read *by J***K on July 9, 2025* A simple, yet powerful book that speaks to a healthy planet and a better political climate. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Words sorely needed *by P***R on November 2, 2007* Oh my.
