Hunger Mountain: A Field Guide to Mind and Landscape by Hinton, David - 2012

Shambhala. 2012. Paperback. As New. Come along with David Hinton on a series of walks through the wild beauty o f Hunger Mountain, near his home in Vermont--excursions informed by the wor ldview he's imbibed from his many years translating the classics of Chinese poetry and philosophy. His broad-ranging discussion offers insight on ever ything from the mountain landscape to the origins of consciousness and the Cosmos, from geology to Chinese landscape painting, from parenting to picto graphic oracle-bone script, to a family chutney recipe. It's a spiritual ec ology that is profoundly ancient and at the same time resoundingly contempo rary. Your view of the landscape--and of your place in it--may never be the same.
