Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
Frog Pond Philosophy combines the rigors of hard-core philosophy with the reflections of an avid outdoorsman and naturalist. Donnelley states boldly the need for healing the divide between humans and nature, and he gently nudges readers out of their conceptual categories and comfort zones."" - Bill Vitek, coeditor of The Virtues of Ignorance: Complexity, Sustainability, and the Limits of Knowledge""A highly intelligent, unusual, demanding book that asks for, and rewards, serious attention. It reflects the quality of a fine mind, a passionate spirit, and a dedicated champion of 'nature alive.' It is a worthy book for a world that needs it."" - Elizabeth Minnich, author of Transforming Knowledge""We encounter a whole person in these pages - Donnelley is a man of immense vitality,commitment, love for the world and particular individuals, courage and grace, whose ideas, words, flights of speculation and moral exhortations were totally integral to who he was. Reading this book was a pleasure."" - J. Ronald Engel, coeditor of Democracy, Ecological Integrity and International Law Read more...
