'Those who love nature need to observe its phenomena as much as they need air to breathe.' So wrote the physicist Marcel Minnaert. This book, too, is about natural phenomena: about trees, water, waterfalls, and even fire. The goal, however, is not quantification, but rather a physical and emotional perception. Phenomenology of nature, as practiced in these essays, is a philosophical reflection on nature and the environment in the context of the ecological crisis.
