{"product_id":"nature-wisdom-elayne-wareing-fitzpatrick-9781497503250","title":"Nature Wisdom: Mystical Writers of the Big Sur-Monterey Coast","description":"This edition of NATURE WISDOM is a more affordable, full-color version of an earlier book by the author, a veteran journalist and instructor in Humanities at Monterey Peninsula College. The book features a medley of essays about the perennial philosophy linking some unlikely bedfellows -- from Richard Henry Dana, Robert Louis Stevenson and Jack London's 'crowd' to Gertrude Atherton, Robinson Jeffers, John Steinbeck, Eric Barker, and Henry Miller -- whose lives were transformed under the spell of the alternately soft and violent landscape of California's Big Sur-Monterey coast. The opening chapter of the book -- 'Between Desert and Sea' -- acknowledges links between Mabel Dodge Luhan's early colony of artists in Taos, N.M. (which came to be known as 'D. H. Lawrence territory') and Carmel-by-the-Sea, California's 'Seacoast of Bohemia' (which came to be known as 'Jeffers Country'). The author describes the book as 'a multi-colored meditation on a deeply rooted, often overlooked, all-too-human need to re-connect with Nature, well-spring of our inner joy and psychic wholeness.' 'THIS BOOK IS A VERITABLE TOUR DE FORCE ' according to the late Joseph Pagano, Founder, Monterey Peninsula FRIENDS OF CARL JUNG.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elayne Wareing Fitzpatrick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1497503256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781497503250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.48d","brand":"Elayne Wareing Fitzpatrick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44064842547455,"sku":"9781497503250","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f26fb7bb-26b2-4820-a61b-07a84235fb64.jpg?v=1685397893","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nature-wisdom-elayne-wareing-fitzpatrick-9781497503250","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
