Her focus in mainly the feminine body -- of earth and women, of animals, human and nonhuman. Whether writing about whales or women's bathing rituals, salmon or friendship, rain forests or life-saving dreams, Peterson weaves a compelling story of the bond between nature and ourselves.This rich, expanded collection was first hailed by critics as \"lyrical and life-enhancing...with large doses of wonder, humor, and warmth.\" The new essays include a moving appeal to seek compassion in healing our sexual lives during this time of AIDS. There are also chronicles of the birth, death, and afterlife of a baby beluga whale, and of the seagull's memory for human faces. Peterson's passionately observed subjects range from lullabies to abortion, dolphins to old-growth forests, fundamentalism to fishing.Combining her skills as a mesmerizing storyteller and nationally acclaimed nature writer, Peterson explores the healing, vital symbiosis between the sacred, sensual body of our earth and the feminine -- and intimacy which instructs and inspires, but most of all sustains us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943933804832,"sku":"NEW0449909670","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/nature-and-other-mothers-personal-stories-of-women-and-the-body-of-earth-0449909670","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
