Chris Lewey Book Talk,
“The Science of Watching, The Art of Seeing, and the Power of Nature Absorption” 
There are many nature books that focus on identification — perhaps because names provide us with a sense of order. But as Benjamin Franklin once said, “What signifies knowing the names, if you know not the nature of things?” I’m sure that Ben Franklin would have embraced this eye-opening book by naturalist Chris Lewey, S.M. Fisher, and J.K. Lounsbury. The Science of Watching, the Art of Seeing, and the Power of Nature Absorption opens our eyes to new ways to appreciate the nature that surrounds us. Far beyond naming, this book is about discovering familiar features of the natural world such as wildlife, weather, wind, clouds, and night. The authors offer abundant new information about how to observe and enjoy nature while traveling afar and near at home. This book is simple, a compass pointing toward an enhanced awareness that can be experienced by everyone. This is a simple, effortless experience that recalls us back to our Self, to a transcendent moment. This spiritual connection with Nature is vital to our well-being. Through an emphasis on birding and ecology, along with some clear Nature Absorption exercises, spiritual awareness is enhanced and amplified. This compelling book also offers nature activities for children and adults and an inspiring collection of classic nature poetry.
