Synopsis
"As our society becomes increasingly drenched in technological gadgetry, Johnson's urgent plea for intimacy with nature as a vital pathway toward mental and physical restoration is just "what the doctor ordered." Here is a voice crying for the wilderness with a salvic message that could benefit millions " Gene Stone, Associate Professor of Biology, Walla Walla University "I can never look at the world in the same way after falling under the influence of Johnson's perspective." Lawrence R. McCloskey, Professor, and Chair, LaSierra University "Gene Johnson, like Solomon of old, crafts for us a love story, sensuous in color, texture, and tone. He stirs the same feelings of kinship and belonging evoked by Henry David Thoreau, Terry Tempest Williams, and Barry Lopez. If you let it, Romancing the Universe will lure you into your own love affair with the cosmos." James L. Hayward, Research Professor of Biology, Andrews University After spending 30 years looking at the world through a wide-angle lens, naturalist, philosopher, G. Gene Johnson, in Romancing the Universe, shares a remarkable vision across boundaries; a vision which: - Recognizes Earth's Unity - Shares Earth's Community - Celebrates Earth's Diversity - Honors Earth's Circularity - Participates in Earth's Reciprocity - And Respects Earth's Numinosity Johnson believes Earth knowledge is self knowledge and that when we go out into nature, we are returning home. It is a central thesis of Romancing the Universe that only as modern humans partnership with Earth and expose their genetic hearts to the authentic ground of their being will they find a full measure of health and happiness. In an age of career specialization and reductionistic science Romancing the Universe attempts to step back far enough to obtain a vision across boundaries; a vision which brings into focus a holistic view of how the Earth works and invites the reader to live and love more richly and widely. The fundamentals of Earth's operations are "storied out" with short essays calculated to personalize the information and "paint the reader into the picture." Romancing the Universe not only addresses the ecological facts, but also addresses the human spirit, psyche and will. The book will be of great value to all who seek to live more graciously in the world at large.
