Now he returns with a startling exploration of our human entanglement with the rest of nature. As 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003eFor 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003eThe shapeshifting of ravens, the erotic nature of gravity, the eloquence of thunder, the pleasures of being edible: all have their place in Abram’s investigation.
