A Celebration of Nature

A former hurricane hunter recounts his awe upon seeing a 360 degree rainbow. An explorer describes his terror of being caught in an erupting volcano. A best-selling author encourages us to explore our natural world for our overall health. Contributors from around the world share their stories, thoughts and poems on our natural world paired with over 150 beautiful nature photographs. By bringing together writers from varied backgrounds, we enjoy the unique perspective of how individuals relate to nature. Whether they are scientists or poets, explorers or photographers, nurses or naturalists, everyone has reason to celebrate our natural world.
