Deep Down Things - The Earth in Celebration and Dismay (Electronic book text)

Lin Jensen, one of Wisdom's most beloved and critically acclaimed authors, returns with this bounteous volume exploring what the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins calls, "deep down things." Richly informed by deep ecology, Jensen explores our intimate connection to the land, the specificities of place, and to the living Earth itself -- all as he uncovers our own deepest nature, the true heart of what it means to be human. There is much in what's happening in our environment now that can and perhaps should be cause for dismay -- and Deep Down Things looks squarely at all of this and nonetheless gives us ample cause for celebration.
