Publisher Comments
"Whenever I pick up this book to glance thru it, it brings great peace to me---the same peace as being in the woods. Most of the people I show this book to also have the same reaction---I can see it in their faces---some part of them has been touched. Thank you for putting together this book."
---Mary Ann Balko-Koch, Salzburg, Austria "I just finished reading The Earth Speaks and I can't begin to say how much I enjoyed it. I recently went to an environmental camp [where] this book was used... I feel that I have a totally different outlook about who I am and how I am related to the earth. We belong to the earth is now my thinking, not the earth belongs to us."
-- Leslie Attard, Staten Island, New York
Book Description
A collection of images and impressions captured by those who have listened to the earth with their hearts --- John Muir, Walt Whitman, Annie Dillard, John Burroughs, Rachel Carson, Aldo Leopold, Henry David Thoreau, and more...
The Earth Speaks can be read by individuals in moments of solitude, shared among friends around a trailside campfire, and used by leaders to help their learners develop a love for life and the systems of the earth that sustain it.
Brought to life by the beautiful block prints of Gwen Frostic, this book contains the writings of naturalists and natives, poets and philosophers, plus ordinary people who were able to capture in words some of the magic and meaning of the earth's marvels.
