“I have long admired the visceral storytelling and moral complexity of John Vaillant’s brilliant non-fiction about humankind’s tragically ambivalent relationship with the natural world. Now he brings his abundant literary gifts to a debut novel set in a very real borderland in which human beings are themselves treated like animals. The Jaguar’s Children is a beautifully rendered lament for an imperiled culture and the brave lives that would preserve it. You should read it.” WorldShouldHumansChildrenLongRealCultureNaturalHuman BeingsAnimalFictionMoralNovelBraveBrilliantTreatedStorytellingPreservesComplexityHumankindNatural WorldNon FictionLamentVisceralDebutAmbivalentJaguars Author:John Burnham Schwartz
“As children, we come into the world with a natural desire to both speak and draw. Society makes sure that we learn language properly, right from the beginning, but art is treated as a gift of innate genius, something we either have or don't.” WorldChildrenArtDesireSpeakLanguageNaturalGeniusDrawsArt IsTreatedInnate Book:Triskell Tales: Twenty-two Years of Chapbooks Source: Triskell Tales: Twenty-two Years of Chapbooks
“We have too long treated the natural world as an adversary rather than as a life-sustaining gift from the Almighty.

“The laws of thought are natural laws with which we have no power to interfere, and which are of course not to be in any way confused with the artificial laws of a country, which are invented by men and can be altered by them. Every science is occupied in detecting and describing the natural laws which are inflexibly observed by the objects treated in the Science.” MenWayCountryLawCoursesNaturalObjectsTreatedConfusedArtificialInterfereDescribingAlteredNatural Law Book:Elementary lessons in logic Source: Elementary lessons in logic
