"Teilhard de Chardin's ecological theology only became famous in the 60s and 70s, long before the ecological crisis itself was very clear to us. Today Teilhard's pioneering work has become more and more relevant particularly to those interested in determining the moral implications of our ecological failures. While Teilhard's later work is still well known, "The Making of a Mind" shows how these thoughts developed in the mind of a young man, drafted into the trenches of World War I, who shared the seeds of these later ideas in a series of letters written to his devoted cousin.

"It is believed that the Ojibwe [Ojibway] of Michigan were the first to tell the story of Sleeping Bear and her cubs, a legend that has since become known as The Legend of Sleeping Bear. The tale originated as a way to explain the sandy area that we know today as the Sleeping Bear Dune. In this story, Mother Bear and her two cubs must escape a forest fire in Wisconsin. As they struggle to make this journey across Lake Michigan, the loyalty and dedications they show for one another is powerful and heartwarming..." Lovely tale with wonderful, original artwork to bring the tale to life. And as someone who spent many childhood summers on the shores of Lake Michigan, climbing the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, playing on the sand beaches of Lake Michigan, it all makes for a perfect and logical explanation of this lovely natural landmark.
