Emotionally and intellectually, the relationship grows from an attachment to pets, then a feeling for wild animals, plants, and landscapes that merges over time with scientific interest in these things and ecological systems, and finally ethical concerns about all life. Along the way there is a great love of birds, involvement with conservationists, writing for the National Park Service and free lance, and exploring nature and environmental issues in Malaysia, Nigeria, Turkey, and Azerbaijan, as he shares parts of his diplomat wife's time in those countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e He concludes his book first with a look at the range of relationships people have with nature, from purely practical to respect, love, and a reverence that sees nature as sacred. Then there is a return to children--introducing them to nature in a time of electronic distractions. The Appendix describes how this experience occurred in the lives of John Burroughs, John Muir, W.H. Hudson, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Rachel Carson, and Roger Peterson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 294\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 05, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47485851631869,"sku":"9780999557273","price":41.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/clV0Si95ZEJKbGdQeDd3eDRqMkI0QT09.webp?v=1777708455","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/a-life-in-nature-at-home-and-abroad-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
