'A classic' - Sir Tim Smit Co-founder of the Eden Project'I saw truth I saw beauty I saw a
better future in these pages.' - John Lewis-StempelFor too long we have set ourselves apart
from nature seeing ourselves as superior removed independent. But in doing so we have lost
sight of all that the natural world can teach us.In Eight Master Lessons of Nature Gary
Ferguson reveals the wisdom of the natural world. By keenly observing and admiring wildlife and
their surroundings he shows us why sympathy is our greatest asset and crucial to our survival
that feminine rule is default in the natural world and how even from the ashes of destruction
life is still able to thrive.Written in rich and nourishing prose Ferguson gently dismantles
the walls we have erected between ourselves and nature showings us the wonder of our
surroundings in all their splendour. Drawing on stories from art and science flora and fauna
philosophy and history he carefully unravels the dazzling web of connections that binds us to
earth and the rich supply of wisdom that is stored here. The result is a powerful and timely
reminder of our place in this world our interdependence and how much nature is able to teach
heal and ultimately restore us.
