In 1951, as a student of anthropology in Oregon, Gary Snyder set himself to the task of analyzing the many levels of meaning a single Native American myth might hold. He Who Hunted Birds in His Father's Village is the result of Snyder's critical look at a Haida tale that was told by the great oral poet Ghandl (Walter McGregor) to John Swanton sometime before 1905. A version of the ubiquitous "swan maiden" story, it tells of a chief's son who falls in love with a wild goose–girl, loses her, follows her into the sky, and returns to land as a seagull. Snyder goes deep into the transformations that occur in the myth, considering versions of myth from around the world, and explaining how the story might apply here and now. He writes: To go beyond and become what–a seagull on a reef? Why not. Our nature is no particular nature; look out across the beach at the gulls. For an empty moment while their soar and cry enters your heart like sunshaft through water, you are that, totally. We do this every day. So this is the aspect of mind that gives art, style, and self–transcendence to the inescapable human plantedness in a social and ecological nexus. The challenge is to do it well, by your neighbors and by the trees, and that maybe once in a great while we can get where we see through the same eye at the same time, for a moment. That would be doing it well. Old tales and myths and stories are the k_ans of the human race.

When Gary Snyder’s long poem Mountains and Rivers Without End was published in 1996, it was hailed as a masterpiece of American poetry. Anthony Hunt offers a detailed historical and explicative analysis of this complex work using, among his many sources, Snyder’s personal papers, letters, and interviews. Hunt traces the work’s origins, as well as some of the sources of its themes and structure, including Nō drama; East Asian landscape painting; the rhythms of storytelling, chant, and song; Jungian archetypal psychology; world mythology; Buddhist philosophy and ritual; Native American traditions; and planetary geology, hydrology, and ecology. His analysis addresses the poem not merely by its content, but through the structure of individual lines and the arrangement of the parts, examining the personal and cultural influences on Snyder’s work. Hunt’s benchmark study will be rewarding reading for anyone who enjoys the contemplation of Snyder’s artistry and ideas and, more generally, for those who are intrigued by the cultural and intellectual workings of artistic composition.

In the Fall of 1900, a young American anthropologist named John Swanton arrived in the Haida country, on the Northwest Coast of North America, intending to learn everything he could about Haida mythology. He spent the next ten months phonetically transcribing several thousand pages of myths, stories, histories and songs in the Haida language. Swanton met a number of fine mythtellers during his year in the Haida country. Each had his own style and his own repertoire. Two of them—a blind man in his fifties by the name of Ghandl, and a crippled septuagenarian named Skaay—were artists of extraordinary stature, revered in their own communities and admired ever since by the few specialists aware of their great legacy. Nine Visits to the Mythworld includes all the finest works of one of these master mythtellers. In November 1900, when Ghandl dictated these nine stories, the Haida world lay in ruins. Wave upon wave of smallpox and other diseases, rapacious commercial exploitation by fur traders, whalers and miners, and relentless missionization by the church had taken a huge toll on Haida culture. Yet in the blind poet’s mind, the great tradition lived, and in his voice it comes alive. Robert Bringhurst’s eloquent and vivid translations of these works are supplemented by explanatory notes that supply the needed background information.

A dramatic story of brotherhood, magic, and spiritual growth. Two young men from Laos immigrate to Minnesota, U.S.A., during the Vietnam War. Enemies and rivals for the love of a village woman who stayed behind, each tries to resolve his confusion about living in a new culture and the loss of their beloved beauty, Zoua Lee. For Pao Moua, Zoua comes alive in his paintings of the village. On dark nights, from a mural lit by headlights, she speaks to Pao and helps him find a way to accept his new life. For Lue Vang, there is no such understanding. He turns to gang life, and must kill or be killed by his gang brothers. In trying to help Lue Vang, Pao nearly loses his life, but in the process he undergoes a life-changing experience that will lead him to become the shaman he always wanted to become. On the other hand, Lue Vang must leave the city to stay alive, but he leaves transformed after seeing a vision of Zoua Lee and saving Paos life. In the end, he realizes his own courage.

This study provides a fresh look at the debate between science and religion that documents how the experiences produced by spiritual practice are surprisingly consistent with the findings of modern biology, despite the difficulty in reconciling scientific theories and religious dogma. This book is unique in its focus on bodily experience as an independent source of knowledge and insight, an important aspect of recent discoveries in neurology and psychology. By rethinking what it is to be human and what role self-consciousness plays, it finds striking points of intersection between science and religion and challenges readers to rediscover their spiritual connections to the physical world. Combining scientific rigor with the spiritual quest, A New Biology of Religion: Spiritual Practice and the Life of the Body reframes the science-religion debate. This profound work examines how all things are connected—both scientifically and spiritually—and shows how religious practices mirror the biological processes of life.

Swing Island Book I - Power to Survive, is about a new hero, Orehon Retnu and his personal Power. , It's about the interconnection and interaction of everyone's power and how each person's power can change the world. Orehon's story unfolds in the tree top forest of Teapottum, a truly amazing place with seven-hundred foot tall trees. The trees have massive trunks and branches so tightly intertwined that, if someone were to cut one down, it wouldn't fall because neighboring trees would hold it up. Although convoluted, and at all times precarious, the interconnecting network of branches makes natural walkways between the trees. Orehon, unlike almost everyone else, much prefers bypassing the twisting pathways in favor of swinging on vines directly from tree to tree, and there always seems to be a vine just right for getting Orehon where he wants to go. Growing up as a nomadic hunter, Orehon knows the ways of the forest, but not the ways of adults and their politics. Book I, by Richard Bennett-Woods, introduces us to Orehon, a boy who is plunged into a dangerous and confusing new world where he must find his personal power without losing his identity.
