About This Item
New York, NY: Vintage, 1997. Soft cover. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; lightly age tanned; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; In this book, Abram 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 on 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.
