An astonishing book by the prize-winning, bestselling author of A Natural History of the Senses that reveals her parallel lives as an observer of the wildlife in her garden and as a telephone crisis counselor.
"(Ackerman) brings a luminous and illuminating combination of sensuality, science, and speculation to whatever she considers." —San Francisco Examiner
Quotes by Diane Ackerman
From Wikiquote“When I set a glass prism on a windowsill and allow the sun to flood through it, a spectrum of colors dances on the floor. What we call "white" is a rainbow of colored rays packed into a small space. The prism sets them free. Love is the white light of emotion.”[https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/rainbow]
I don't want to be a passenger in my own life.
I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I want to live the width of it as well.
