Love of Nature

Autor Julie a. Kolankowski
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Our world is going through the greatest changes in its history. Only 100 years ago, most of our population was gathered in areas that could feed and equip all of their human occupants. New technology can now deliver food to distant places, at the cost of pollution and destruction of resources. Nature was balanced, and we destroyed that balance. We doubled our population in less than 100 years and have Global Warming with its destruction and pollution. To preserve Nature is to preserve us. Nature used to be on our doorstep, but we now live increasingly in distant mega-cities, and replace our connection with Nature by concrete, steel and plastic. This book warns us not to lose our contact with Nature, because it is our mother Nature who gives us a richer life than can be lived in a concrete box room in a skyscraper. Loneliness is now one of the saddest and most avoidable form of life. The book starts with the joy of sharing Nature with mammals, birds, fish and plants. Nature gives us discoveries, pleasures and lessons for survival. Our doorstep may protect the nest of a swallow, or the twinkling beauty of humming birds. Discoveries are more likely on one-day visits and on vacations. We can also take photographs to remind us of happy times. The book then looks at the wonderful link that Nature has provided, our pets bring Nature into our homes, to have companions and friends for life. Many people who are alone find their need to touch, to love and to play fulfilled. My great wish to pet a baby Grey Whales was fulfilled Getting close to Nature also shows us how humans are upsetting its balance, exterminating some of its members and poisoning our whole world by bad management and greed. Visits to Yellowstone, Scotland and Poland compare their problems and solutions with the USA. We learn of societies who devote their existence and finances to maintain a safe and lasting solution. This book is written for families, to remind them of the many benefits of living close to Nature. It helps to preserve our heritage, to live a healthier life, and to have a lot of fun while doing it.
