The Earth Vision website presents spiritual ecology, the interweave of nature and humanity, by addressing current issues, as well as through five books that open the reader's perspective by means of the following approaches to eco-spirituality: geographic; seasonal; art, history/reincarnation, and humor. Visit the site at www.evbooks.net Or email nature author Josef Graf at josefgrafev@yahoo.ca
Dubbed "a modern Thoreau" by one reviewer, Josef Graf's diverse background was bound to culminate in the Earth Vision project. A split degree in Sociology/Ecology was followed by work as a trail guide, co-ordinator of a nature interpretation program, assistant to Native cultural enhancement, radio host, and Waldorf teacher.
