When people in the West began to separate God and nature in modern times, it was not just a profound breach with thousands of years of accumulated wisdom: it also set in train the destruction of the natural world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaking themes that have been central to the world's religious traditions - from gratitude and compassion to sacrifice and non-violence - Armstrong offers practical steps to help us develop a new mindset to reconnect with nature and rekindle our sense of the sacred. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eSacred Nature\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the most profound connections between humans and the natural world.
