Abstract

"Serpent Mound, Machu Picchu, Kilauea Crater, Delphi, Mount Ranier . . . such natural sites have the power to move us in ways that modern psychology and science cannot explain. Sacred Places explores the age-old relationship between human beings and the "living ecology." Drawing upon years of research in psychology, anthropology, biology, and electromagnetism, as well as field work with various native cultures, James Swan demonstrates that sacred places in nature have a value that transcends time and culture — and therefore must be preserved for generations to come. Included is a regional guide to easily accessible sacred places on public lands throughout the United States."--Back cover.
