I can’t believe I left this one off of the “top ten” list! (I think I read it in 2009, anyway.) Anyway, not only for alphabetical reasons, this book definitely belongs on the top of the list. A truly excellent and inspiring book. Here is a website with several quotes and passages, to give the potential reader an idea of what they’re getting themselves into . . .

David Abrams’ The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-Than-Human World. A close look at nature, language, and culture, among other things. A professional stage magician studies with indigenous magicians in Tibet, Indonesia, and elsewhere. An examination of humanity’s relationship with the natural world.

. . . If this title or author sounds familiar, yes, I’ve already referred to this book elsewhere, in a post from February of last year.
