Supporting Lovelock's thesis that the Earth is a living being, Swan suggests natural sites such as Serpent Mound, Machu Pichu, and Kilauea Center have the power to move us in ways modern science cannot explain.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Supporting Lovelock's thesis that the Earth is a living being, James Swan suggests that natural sites such as Serpent Mound, Machu Pichu, and Delphi have the power to move us in ways modern science cannot explain. Sacred Places explores the age-old relationship between human beings and the living ecology.

Drawing upon years of research in psychology, anthropology, biology, and electromagnetism, as well as fieldwork with various native cultures, the author demonstrates that sacred places in nature have a value that transcends time and culture. Therefore, they must be preserved for generations to come.

Jim Swan's work provides a fascinating bridge between science and the sacred mystery of the land. His writing is eloquent and promotes the healing of mind and heart.
