Nature, Culture and the Sacred

The world seems to be divided into two kinds of people - those who divide everything into two, and those who don't. Reading Nature, Culture and the Sacred is a step toward melting this false division into "feminine" and "masculine," and allowing each of us to become fully human again and at last.
