Summary:
"Our relationships to the places around
us
are as complex and ever-changing as the
land
itself. This book asks: are we shapers of the landscapes we inhabit or does the
land
, with all its variable resources, shape
us
? Author Joanne Light and photographer Stephen Patterson answer that we are both shaper and shaped, and that we need to change our thinking from "either/or" to "both." This is the change from thinking of ourselves as "exploiter of the
land
/protector of the
land
" to a more integrated awareness that involves action as well as contemplation. Light and Patterson's sensitive forays into the landscape capture why people connect so strongly not only with the rugged, sea-swept Nova Scotia, but all of the Earth's regions. Their words and images inspire refreshing views and timely meditations. Joanne Light studied psychology and education at Acadia University. She has a bachelor of fine arts from NSCAD University. She has taught in four northern Canadian communities and in South Korea, Brunei Darussalam, Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi. These cross-cultural experiences produced "Meeting the North" and a literary memoir, In and Out of the Box / Stories of Teaching and Travelling" to be published in 2014 or 2015. She is also the author of a children's book, "Suzie, an Orphan Orangutan" a true story about the plight of the orangutan and the Borneo rainforest. Stephen Scott Patterson began making color photographs of the landscape after acquiring his first 35 mm camera in 1983. He is mainly self-taught with the exception of having spent time with master color photographer Ernst Haas. Photographic quests have taken him to Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Galapagos Islands and Ecuador, The Canadian Rockies, Queen Charlotte Islands, and his throughout his home province of Nova Scotia"--Provided by publisher.
