This profound little book from one of today's most brilliant religious thinkers explores humankind's relationship with nature. Through sharing her expansive knowledge of the world's spiritual and religious traditions from ancient times to present day, Karen Armstrong encourages modern readers to rediscover an appreciation of nature as something sacred; something that exists within us and that we exist within; and something we risk destroying if we don't learn to perceive it differently. For thoughtful people who plan to keep living on Earth, this is required reading of the highest caliber. (CH)
