From Dan's email....
Please choose one book from this suggested list. Some of this stuff can get pretty heady and out there. I really want to focus on the benefits and importance of nature, being in nature, understanding nature and how it applies to our experiences in birds and birding, if and where it is applicable. Being therapeutic, a basic human need etc. and what happens if we are deprived of it. Be very pragmatic in your descriptions of whatever title you choose, when presenting to class, backed up with facts and examples.
You may choose to work in small groups if you would like. By next class please choose a book and so we may find out who else is reading it. You can still change your mind on Wednesday :) I will check in periodically to see how progress is going.
The Voice of the Earth: An Exploration of Ecopsychology - Theodore Roszak
Nature and the Human Soul: Cultivating Wholeness and Community in a Fragmented World - Bill Plotkin
Soulcraft: Crossing into the Mysteries of Nature and Psyche - Bill Plotkin
Ecotherapy: Healing with Nature in Mind - Linda Buzzel
Ecopsychology: Restoring the Earth Healing the Mind - Theodore Roszak
Reconnecting with Nature - Michael J. Cohen
Partnering with Nature - Catriona MacGregor
I recommend the following to be read as complimentary to one of the above. Most of the books about animals have a strong focus on domesticated pets.

Learning their Language: Intuitive Communication with Animals and Nature - Marta Williams
