In this collection of essays John Fentress Gardner illuminates many challenging aspects of modern life that concern him-and concern most of us, as well.

He looks often to Emerson; to Rudolf Steiner, the... In this collection of essays John Fentress Gardner illuminates many challenging aspects of modern life that concern him-and concern most of us, as wel...
