Hunger Mountain: A Field Guide to Mind and Landscape

Description

Come along with David Hinton on a series of walks through the wild beauty of Hunger Mountain, near his home in Vermont excursions informed by the worldview he s imbibed from his many years translating the classics of Chinese poetry and philosophy. His broad-ranging discussion offers insight on everything from the mountain landscape to the origins of consciousness and the Cosmos, from geology to Chinese landscape painting, from parenting to pictographic oracle-bone script, to a family chutney recipe. It s a spiritual ecology that is profoundly ancient and at the same time resoundingly contemporary. Your view of the landscape and of your place in it may never be the same.
