OK, so this is not a book. It's kind of a magazine, but it's better than a magazine and maybe better than most books. I discovered this wonderful literature at my second home, The Half Price Book Store. I actually went in there on a mission to buy magazines I could cut up to make a kind of collage of things I want to manifest in my life. (That's another post.) I saw this bundle of magazines all tied up and reduced for quick sale, think I paid $2 for the whole bundle, wish now I had bought both bundles! I can not bring myself to cut these up, they are way to special for that.
If you are interested in living up to a higher ideal, saving the world, expanding your horizons, being a better kind of human being, then this is for you. The following description is from their web page and the link to it is below.
Orion explores an emerging alternative world view. Informed by a growing ecological awareness and the need for cultural change, it is a forum for thoughtful and creative ideas and practical examples of how we might live justly, wisely, and artfully on Earth.
Since 1982, Orion has worked to reconnect human culture with the natural world, blending scientific thinking with the arts, engaging the heart and mind, and striving to make clear what we all have in common.
Orion publishes the work of the writers who are shaping a relationship between nature and a new emerging cultural ethic -- Barbara Kingsolver, Bill McKibben, Gary Paul Nabhan, Sandra Steingraber, David Quammen, Richard Nelson, Terry Tempest Williams, Barry Lopez, Robert Michael Pyle, Thomas Moore, David James Duncan, Wendell Berry, Scott Russell Sanders, Ann Zwinger, and others -- as well many new voices.
Orion also includes powerful visual images that blur the boundaries between the human and the natural, and challenge us to see our world from new perspectives. Each issue includes portfolios of paintings and photographs from artists like Frans Lanting, Galen Rowell, Sonya Bullaty, Wolf Kahn, Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison, and Andy Goldsworthy.
Orion is published six times a year by The Orion Society and the Myrin Inst.
