u003cpu003eu003cbu003eA PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award Runner-upu003cbru003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003eDavid Abram's first book, u003ciu003eThe Spell of the Sensuousu003c/iu003e, hailed as "revolutionary" by the u003ciu003eLos Angeles Timesu003c/iu003e, as "daring" and "truly original" by u003ciu003eScienceu003c/iu003e, has become a classic of environmental literature. Now he returns with a startling exploration of our human entanglement with the rest of nature. u003cbru003e u003cbru003eAs the climate veers toward catastrophe, the innumerable losses cascading through the biosphere make vividly evident the need for a metamorphosis in our relation to the living land. For too long we've ignored the wild intelligence of our bodies, taking our primary truths from technologies that hold the living world at a distance. Abram's writing subverts this distance, drawing readers ever closer to their animal senses in order to explore, from within, the elemental kinship between the human body and the breathing Earth. The shape-shifting of ravens, the erotic nature of gravity, the eloquence of thunder, the pleasures of being edible: all have their place in this book.u003c/pu003e
