Civilisation and the life of nations are governed by the same laws as prevail throughout nature and organic life.

Nature has been for me, for as long as I remember, a source of solace, inspiration, adventure, and delight; a home, a teacher, a companion.

Octopuses are tough–and not just in the sense that they can take out sharks (both real and computer generated, as in Mega Shark versus Giant Octopus). They’re almost pure muscle. With tridirectional muscles in the...

I study nature so as not to do foolish things.

Such is the nature of emergency ordinances.

All the uglinesses of the world can best be forgotten in the beauty of nature!

There are high places that don’t invite us, sharp shapes, glacier-scraped faces, whole ranges whose given names slip off. Any such relation as we try to make refuses to take…I’m giddy with thinking where thinking...

Benjamin and I sat in the middle of one of the large canoes with our grandmother in the stern, directing us past shoals and through rapids and into magnificent stretches of water. One day the...

Because normal human activity is worse for nature than the greatest nuclear accident in history.

Our incredible bewilderment (wilderness separation) blinds us from seeing that our many personal and global problems primarily result from our assault of and separation from the natural creation process within and around us. Our estrangement...

Talking about pollution, nobody’s holy.They who pollute, sinned against nature.

Linnaeus had it constantly in mind:’The closer we get to know the creatures around us, the clearer is the understanding we obtain of the chain of nature, and its harmony and system’.

That isn’t to prejudge what the nature and arrangements will be for Russian participation in KFOR, nor has Russia decided categorically that it is going to be part of KFOR, … potentially quite dangerous.
