THE BOOK OF NATURE is an anthology of spiritual perspectives on nature and the environment, highlighting the human role in honoring and maintaining the balance. Part One looks at the "Basic Principles" of Unity, Interdependence, Power & Beauty, Communication, Adaptability, Creativity & Transformation, Endurance & Rejuvenation. Part Two includes sections on the Four Elements and The Communities (Species) of Life. The Final Section is "Caring for God's Creation." From the Muslim perspective, Nature is the Book of God, open before us, from which there is much to learn. While themes from the Qur'an introduce each chapter, The Book of Nature also includes the wisdom of other faith traditions, as well as insights from individuals whose sensitivity to the natural world can assist in reawakening our own.
