| Sumario: | This book intimately examines the myriad ways in which connections to the natural world can be deepened through an equality of perception, whether it's a caterpillar carrying its house of leaves, transhumant shepherds ranging high mountain pastures, a quail taking cover on an empty steppe, or a Turkmen family emigrating from Afghanistan to Istanbul. The narrative spans the common - and often contested - ground that supports human and natural communities alike, seeking the unsung stories that sustain us. Distinguished by the author's belief that through awareness, curiosity, and openness we have the potential to forge abiding relationships with a range of places, this book illuminates how these many connections can teach us to be at home in the world. |
