Biokind (R) Rhetoric For A New Paradigm : A Field Guide For The Future

Rating:
Summary: If you love nature, Biokind is a must-read.
Review: After reading Biokind I realized that I have been on the Biokind path for a long time. My most distant recollection is of being a small child of about 4 years of age on vacation in Austria and standing under the trees and being absolutely in awe and wonder about a carpet of lilies of the valley that surrounded me, and their fragrance that permeated the air. Later on at about 9 years of age in England I remember how upset I was when they cut down the tallest tree that I had seen in my life that was in the neighbouring property. That affected me for a long time. The last few years I have felt a closeness to nature and plants and flowers that I hadn't felt before. Reading Biokind was just a reaffirmation of what I believe in but didn't know how to express, until I read Captain W. K. Miller's words which so clearly put everything into perspective. One thought that struck me after reading Biokind Rhetoric for a New Paradigm...A Field Guide for the Future, was that this book should be a must read for university students in Environmental Science and similar
fields, and should be incorporated into the reading lists for the curriculum.

Summary: a term for the times
Review: Biokind is a word that houses a concept that is central to the continuation of life on this planet.Captain Miller has encapsulated the thoughts and visions of naturalists, mystics and people of good will in a short, accessible form. "The wilderness holds answers to questions man has not yet learned to ask." Nancy Newhall, Biokind p45 and Biokind creates a terminology and a context that man needs to recognize the inter-relation of all life. In this time of fear, confusion and violence, Captain Miller's book provides a blueprint to shift our cultural conditioning from one of exclusion to one of inclusion. Study this book and begin to manifest true harmony.

Summary: Biokind
Review: Biokind speaks with a passion that should be felt by every human being. It reminds us of where we've come from and our oneness with every living creature in the pyramid of life. As a former science teacher, I taught my students to learn through reading and exploring nature on field trips. Only by using all the senses can the true meaning of life be understood and appreciated. Biokind will awaken a reality deep within your heart and soul. A reality that all life is sacred and deserves the same respect, honor and dignity we wish for ourselves.

Summary: Biokind???
Review: Capt. Wendy Miller's new book,"Biokind", strives to explain our place in the realm of nature,the bios, and in a large part, it succeeds. We are, she contends,all a part of the whole, not the one species on the outside looking in. And so,our relationship to our fellow earth travellers should be informed by this fact. To support her thesis Capt. Miller cites such luminaries as Rachel Carson and Aldo Leopold, and refers to the gentle tenets of Buddhism. What is biokind? And why should we be interested? This book offers an answer. Whether you are a "green". or a logger-hunter-suv driver, there is something in this book for you. Because it makes you think, and maybe wonder.

Summary: A New Voice
Review: Her voice above a landscape of environmental clutter. One word defines part of the answer to any question of humankinds endeavors. Ancient and modern observers have failed to produce a singular word with so much potential. Where would we be if this word were in use a hundred years ago? A slippery definition to comprehend in one read. Treat it like a trusted friend reveling wisdom.
