Talking on the Water: Conversations about Nature and Creativity - Jonathan White

Descriere Talking on the Water: Conversations about Nature and Creativity - Jonathan White

\nDuring the 1980s and 90s, the Resource Institute, headed by Jonathan White, held a series of floating seminars aboard a sixty-five-foot schooner featuring leading thinkers and writers from an array of disciplines. Over ten years, White conducted interviews, gathered in this collection, with the writers, scientists, and environmentalists who gathered on board to explore our relationship to the wild. \nWhite describes the conversations as the roots of an integrated community: While at first these roots may not appear to be linked, a closer look reveals that they are sustained in common ground. \n \nBeloved fiction writer Ursula K. Le Guin discusses the nature of language, microbiologist Lynn Margulis contemplates Darwin's career and the many meanings of evolution, and anthropologist Richard Nelson sifts through the spiritual life of Alaska's native people. Rounding out the group are writers Gretel Ehrlich, Paul Shepard, and Peter Matthiessen, conservationists Roger Payne and David Brower, theologian Matthew Fox, activist Janet McCloud, Jungian analyst James Hillman, poet Gary Snyder, and ecologist Dolores LaChapelle. \n \nBy identifying the common link between these conversations, Talking on the Water takes us on a journey in search of a deeper understanding of ourselves and the environment.\n
