It is for this reason that John R. Campbell came to the Klamath marshes, a wetland in southern Oregon formed by three ancient, shallow lakes, a vast emptiness that is paradoxically home to an amazing diversity of life, of untold thousands of birds both migratory and resident, of all the interconnected life forms that make up one of North America's richest natural environments." 520 8 "Absence and Light is Campbell's account of his exploration of the marshes and a meditation on the world he found there, on his growing understanding of the physical, emotional, moral, and aesthetic meaning of that world, on his own growth as a man. Through Campbell's eyes, we observe the stirring and astonishing beauty of the marshes and their creatures, and the utter poignancy of their fragility before the heedless ambitions of humankind." "This is nature writing at its most profound and moving, writing that in examining and defining the world of nature helps us to understand the very complicated and contradictory realities of being human. Campbell's luminous descriptions and mystical insights will long linger in the reader's memory."--Cover. 650 0 Human ecology |zOregon |zKlamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge |xPhilosophy. 650 0 Human ecology |xReligious aspects. 650 0 Marsh ecology |zOregon |zKlamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge. 650 0 Philosophy of nature |zOregon |zKlamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge. 650 6 Écologie humaine |xAspect religieux. 650 7 Ecology. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00901476 650 7 Human ecology |xPhilosophy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00962959 650 7 Human ecology |xReligious aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00962964 650 7 Marsh ecology. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01010755 650 7 Philosophy of nature. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01060845 651 0 Klamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge (Or.) |xEnvironmental conditions. 651 0 Klamath Basin (Or.) |xEnvironmental conditions. 651 6 Klamath, Bassin (Or.) |xConditions environnementales. 651 7 Oregon |zKlamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01878278 651 7 Oregon |zKlamath Basin. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01281758 610 27 Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges (U.S.) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00581572 830 0 Environmental arts and humanities series 902 sdg |bl |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20020717 904 sdg |ba |hm |cb |e20020717 914 (OCoLC)ocm48711073 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240530 |eprocessed |f48711073
