Ecological Intelligence: Rediscovering Ourselves in Nature: Written by Ian McCallum, 2009 Edition, Publisher: Fulcrum Group [Paperback] Paperback – 15 Feb. 2009

One of the great works of our time on the importance of a spiritual connection to the natural world. Beautifully written... with great depth and insight. Watch one of Ian's Ted Talks to see him present some of the poems from the book!

I read this while on safari and found it a beautiful accompaniment to what I was experiencing. It was like listening to a naturalist talk about the wild, but with a profound sense of who we are within that world and the larger universe. McCallum provides wonderful observations about things we normally would not notice -- from scientific, cultural. anthropological, and ecological points of view. He offers a metaphoric way toward understanding our intersection with nature. As a result, I noticed nature differently and saw more details and connections between plant and animal life, evolution and the role of man in changing the order of things.

One of my favorite books to read sitting under the tree. Makes me feel so at home. Makes me feel connected with my origins. Poetic and intelligent.

This is an intensely spiritual, soul-filling book.

many thanks for apt descriptions and prompt delivery
