Drawn from the union of art, nature, and metaphysics, it presents some of the myths and legends of antiquity as they might be recognized by our modern society of earth-shapers. Through word and image the authors reference the ecological and environmental concepts found at the core of traditional environmental knowledge and provide a new context for environmental engagement that merges the spiritual and phenomenological with the scientific and empirical. Wisdom of place can be used by anyone--from creatives to spiritual seekers, landscape architects to coders--to call forth the voice of the genius loci--the spirit of place--and reveal the creative forces and hidden currents of nature.
