{"product_id":"nature-and-existence-walt-mclaughlin-9798988171652","title":"Nature and Existence","description":"This set of short, interlocking essays outlines a worldview based upon personal experiences in the wild as well as scientific facts. God, nature and human nature all loom large here. The author probes the limits of understanding and the mysteries of the wild while pondering an expanding universe, the emergence of life, what makes us human, the rise of civilization, and humankind's impact upon the planet. The result is a glimpse into the strange and paradoxical realm of What-Is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMcLaughlin is a philosopher with a hiking stick, a mystic with his feet firmly planted on the ground, a realist with his head in the cosmos. He often engages in speculative thought while tramping through deep woods and other places where few people go.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walt McLaughlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798988171652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wood Thrush Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.30d","brand":"Walt McLaughlin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49169680204031,"sku":"9798988171652","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nature-and-existence-walt-mclaughlin-9798988171652","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
