Ecological intelligence

rediscovering ourselves in nature

Plot

From the back cover: "Ian McCallum -- medical doctor, psychiatrist, naturalist, writer and former rugby Springbok -- has written a book that is timeous, urgent and with profound implications. We know that the modern world's increasing distance from Nature has left us impoverished, floundering in our search for direction and the will to right the ecological ills of our planet. In this optimistic work, McCallum explores the relationship between human beings and Nature, from both a biological and poetic perspective. He argues that understanding and reinforcing the evolutionary bonds that interconnect us with all life will lead to a greater sense of proportion and of our place in the world."
