Earth's Summons: Honoring our Bonds with Nature

By Mr. Henry Hall Sloan

When a sense of awe and adoration for the wonders of the earth overtakes us, and a shadow of concern as well, the words to express our feelings seldom seem enough. Henry Hall Sloan has found some of the words. Written in a spirit of gratitude, these expressions offer a source of praise for our earth, her creatures and many of her wild places. The author writes with intensity and passion from a place one might call the heart-spirit. Expressions of joy are conveyed in the honoring of essences of fauna and flora as delight in the earth's bounty shines from every page. Also, this book is greatly enhanced by the glorious illustrations of Elizabeth Byrne. Among the chapters are entitled: "Mountain Summons," "Creatures of the Woodlands," "Providers of Comfort and Shade," "Fruits of the Vine," and "The Ocean Tide." "There's Something in the Wind" is about storms that sweep away the past and may presage a future for us all. An underlying message of this book is honoring our precious bonds with our earth while answering the summons to listen to her call.
