Synopsis

SC-NATURE AND MADNESS

About this title

Review

"[Shepard] demands of ecology nothing less than a shift in our whole frame of reference and our attitudes toward life itself."--"New York Times Book Review"

"[In] Shepard's texts, we can once again take a deep breath and remember that life is holy and a wildness of spirit is not only something to be retrieved and honored but the very essence of our humanity."--Terry Tempest Williams

"Much of what we value in contemporary thought about 'nature and culture' grew up in the seedbed of Shepard's thinking. His writing about child development, physical and cultural anthropology, animal behavior, art and mythology, the history of agriculture, and other subjects is endlessly fascinating."--Barry Lopez

"This is an extraordinary book. Buy it, read it, and begin to remember what it means to be a human animal."--"Bloomsbury Review"
