Thinking Like a Mountain by Robert Bateman

Thinking Like a Mountain by Robert Bateman

Nature has been Robert Bateman's inspiration ever since he began painting birds from his bedroom window as a young boy. The wildlife he features in his paintings are expressions of his love and respect for the natural world.

A passionate environmentalist who has devoted his life to documenting the awesome power of nature, Bateman is deeply worried about the state of our planet and the fate of our natural heritage. Whenever he talks about his paintings, he talks about the environmental messages they convey, and those who have heard him speak have clamoured for a book that encapsulates his philosophy.

Thinking Like a Mountain is the result of many years of thinking, talking and writing about the world's growing environmental crisis. Beautifully designed and illustrated with original drawings, it is a gathering of questions, observations and ideas Robert Bateman has drawn from his own life experiences and gleaned from the writings of some of the visionaries who have influenced him.

As Einstein said, We cannot solve the problems of today with the same thinking that gave us the problems in the first place.Only a profound shift in philosophy, Bateman believes, can save our species from extinction.

Thinking Like a Mountain is printed on 100 per cent ancient-forest-free paper that is 100 per cent post-consumer recycled and has been processed chlorine free.

ROBERT BATEMAN has been fascinated by nature since he was a child in Toronto, where he began his lifetime education as a naturalist by studying and sketching the species he noticed in the ravine behind his house. He is the bestselling author of fifteen books and an internationally recognized artist whose paintings can be found in collections all over the world. He is an officer of the Order of Canada, a holder of multiple honorary doctorates, and an honorary life member of numerous conservation organizations. He devotes most of his time to preserving the natural environment. Bateman resides on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, with his wife Birgit.
