Nature's Ways
ISBN-10: 1453562311
ISBN-13: 978-1453562314
​
This work explores the deep spiritual connection between human beings and the natural world, and how to cultivate this vital relationship.
​
Nature is a source of emotional healing and spiritual growth long recognized by our ancestors but largely overlooked in our techno-world.
​
For those who feel the "hand of the divine" in the workings of the natural world, Nature's Ways offers many pathways to the sacred.

The Healing Earth
ISBN-10: 155971672X
ISBN-13: 978-1559716727
​
This seminal work is regarded as the first practical application of eco-psychology to everyday life. It provides specific steps for applying nature interaction to emotional healing, decision-making, insight development, stress management, and a host of other concerns and goals.
​
The Healing Earth won the 1996 Midwest Publisher's Award for "Best Self Help Book."
​​

Beast Management
ISBN-10: 1441586814
ISBN-13: 978-1441586810
​
​This books picks up where traditional conflict resolution methods fail. When "let's be reasonable" methods fall short, the strategies and tactics in Beast Management offer non-traditional but highly effective solutions for even the most difficult interpersonal adversaries.
​
While the focus is largely on workplace conflict resolution, many of the methods can be readily applied to one's personal life, as well.
