Compiled with Introductions by Chip Spann

“Clearly, nature calls to something very deep in us. Biophilia, the love of nature and living things, is an essential part of the human condition. Hortophilia, the desire to interact with, manage, and tend nature, is also deeply instilled in us… The effects of nature’s qualities on health are not only spiritual and emotional, but physical and neurological. I have no doubt that they reflect deep changes in the brain’s physiology, and perhaps even its structure.” (p. 247)
