And all of them in some way underlie our exploitation of the earth, our distrust of emotion, and our loneliness and reluctance to love.<br><br>Few books have challenged those assumptions as directly as this erudite and engaging work by the author of The Way of Zen. Drawing on the precepts of Taoism, Alan Watts offers an alternative vision of man and the universe -- one in which the distinctions between self and other, spirit and matter give way to a more holistic way of seeing. Nature, Man and Woman is a book of great elegance and far-reaching implication -- one of those rare texts that can change the way we think, feel, and love. 983463 1958 Nature, Man and Woman total:153|5:46|4:62|3:40|2:5|1:0| 153 608 231 13 3 2 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 15 08:12:29 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 15 08:12:40 -0700 2007
