Thinking Like a Mountain

by Robert Bateman

Thinking Like a Mountain Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

A passionate environmentalist who has devoted his life to documenting the awesome power of nature, Robert Bateman is deeply worried about the state of our planet and the fate of our natural heritage. Thinking Like a Mountain is the result of many years of thinking, talking, and writing about the world's growing environmental crisis. Beautifully designed and illustrated with original drawings, it is a gathering of questions, observations and ideas Bateman has drawn from his own life experiences, and gleaned from the writings of some of the visionaries who have influenced him.
