Spiritual Ecology

Jim Nollman, explorer, interspecies communicator, and author of Dolphin Dreamtime, now gives us an enlightened and enlightening guide on how to save our enviroment - and ourselves. It is an optomistic handbook on how we can reconnect with the ancient spiritual health, and utilize our vast scientific resources effectively to turn back the disaster descending upon the enviroment we share. Changing our perceptions of nature is the first step. Drawing on Native American beliefs, shamanistic perceptions, and his open experiences communicatiing with animals and living closely with the natural world, Nollman shows us the interconnectedness of mankind and nature in every aspect of our daily lives. He instructs us in living as if nature mattered, breaking through modern, soulless scientific misperceptions of nature to a new communion and empathy with other humans, with deer, whales, trees, and our largest bioregion. Spiritual Ecology is the path to enviromental sanity, to rejoining the miraculous cycle of nature. Ranging from the psychic to the mythic, from humanistic fact to scientific faux pas - Spiritual Ecology will shock, provoke, and reawaken all readers to the marvels of our natural world. Written in the philosophical tradition of ecologists John Muir, Rachel Carson, and Henry David Thoreau, poetic and prophetic, this book helps us to see our earth better: through the soul of our living planet. --- from book's back cover
