| Haydn Washington argues that we will not solve the environmental crisis unless we rejuvenate wonder at nature. This book focuses on humanity’s relation with nature and the sense of wonder and belonging common in indigenous peoples and children everywhere. Drawing on the author’s five decades working to protect wild places and the current literature, it examines what a sense of wonder is, what it has been called in different cultures and high points of wonder at nature. The book concludes with an examination of why wonder has become buried in Western society and considers ways in which it can be revived. The final chapter presents how wonder at nature can be restored in Western society. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
