Convinced to the marrow that something is deeply wrong with nature, . . . the Western world tries to remake it into something better.\"\n\nFor Priscilla Stuckey, this is a fundamental and heartbreaking misconception: that nature can be fixed, exploited, or simply ignored. Modern societies try to bend nature to human will instead of engaging in give–and–take with a living, breathing land community.\n\nUsing her personal experiences as the cornerstone, Stuckey explores the depth of relationship possible with the birch tree in our backyard, the nearby urban creek, the dog who settles on our bed each night.\n\nWith the eloquence of the great nature writers before her, Stuckey encourages us to open ourselves to the unlimited possibilities of a truly connected life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1582438129\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1582438129.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Stuckey, Priscilla\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
