SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
[The author] draws on sources as diverse as the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, Balinese shamanism, Apache storytelling, and his own experience as an accomplished sleight-of-hand magician to reveal the subtle dependence of human cognition on the natural environment. He explores the character of perception and excavates the sensual foundations of language, which -- even at its most abstract -- echoes the calls and cries of the earth.
