Praise for The Eight Master Lessons of Nature "It's hard to put down the phone and pay attention to the larger world--but as this insightful book makes clear, that kind of attention to the natural world can help set us on better paths for our lives, our societies, and our futures." --Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy and Eaarth "This beautiful book will make your genes ache with homesickness for the mystery we sprang from. Luckily, it's waiting right outside. Let Gary Ferguson take you there. You'll remember, and you'll thank him." --Alan Weisman, author of The World Without Us and Countdown "I saw truth. I saw beauty, I saw a better future in these pages." --John Lewis-Stempel, author of the bestselling Meadowland, The Running Hare, The Wood and Still Water "In this expansive survey, nature writer Ferguson (Walking Down the Wild) argues that nature's 'harmony, balance, and rhythm' can teach humans how to live peaceful, vital lives. Ferguson's eight assertions each speak to the powerful connections he sees between the natural and human worlds, each beginning with his lushly delivered observations of nature." --Publishers Weekly "A mellow, meditative book for nature lovers and those who want to reconnect with the world around them." --Kirkus, Praise for The Eight Master Lessons of Nature "It's hard to put down the phone and pay attention to the larger world--but as this insightful book makes clear, that kind of attention to the natural world can help set us on better paths for our lives, our societies, and our futures."--Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy and Eaarth "This beautiful book will make your genes ache with homesickness for the mystery we sprang from.

- r***t (12)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI would like to thank the seller for being so kind during the entirety of my purchase, and for the excellent shipping speed. For starters, they extended a warm message to me regarding my purchase, and how they (the seller) had just been returning from a vacation, stating that my ordered product would be shipped ASAP, which was incredibly kind! Shipping speed was incredibly swift, and I wouldn't have known either way. I definitely look forward to buying again from here, thanks!
- .***8 (304)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI purchased this book on a Sunday afternoon. Shortly after I ordered it, I reached out to the seller to see if he could get it shipped out the next day. Believe it or not he actually answered me on Sunday and also promptly shipped the book out on Monday as promised. My mom received the book on Wednesday just in time for her trip up north. The seller communication and extra effort that was put into this transaction definitely goes above and beyond. Thank you!!!The Education of Little Tree by Forrest Carter 2004 PB NEW (#315686163812)
