This edition of NATURE WISDOM is a more affordable, full-color version of an earlier book by the author, a veteran journalist and instructor in Humanities at Monterey Peninsula College. The book features a medley of essays about the perennial philosophy linking some unlikely bedfellows -- from Richard Henry Dana, Robert Louis Stevenson and Jack London's 'crowd' to Gertrude Atherton, Robinson Jeffers, John Steinbeck, Eric Barker, and Henry Miller -- whose lives were transformed under the spell of the alternately soft and violent landscape of California's Big Sur-Monterey coast. The opening chapter of the book -- 'Between Desert and Sea' -- acknowledges links between Mabel Dodge Luhan's early colony of artists in Taos, N.M. (which came to be known as 'D. H. Lawrence territory') and Carmel-by-the-Sea, California's 'Seacoast of Bohemia' (which came to be known as 'Jeffers Country'). The author describes the book as 'a multi-colored meditation on a deeply rooted, often overlooked, all-too-human need to re-connect with Nature, well-spring of our inner joy and psychic wholeness.' 'THIS BOOK IS A VERITABLE TOUR DE FORCE!' according to the late Joseph Pagano, Founder, Monterey Peninsula FRIENDS OF CARL JUNG.
