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.
