Come along with David Hinton on a series of walks through the wild
beauty of Hunger Mountain, near his home in Vermont--excursions informed
by the worldview he's imbibed from his many years translating the
classics of Chinese poetry and philosophy. His broad-ranging discussion
offers insight on everything from the mountain landscape to the origins
of consciousness and the Cosmos, from geology to Chinese landscape
painting, from parenting to pictographic oracle-bone script, to a family
chutney recipe. It's a spiritual ecology that is profoundly ancient and
at the same time resoundingly contemporary. Your view of the
landscape--and of your place in it--may never be the same.
