Throughout his life, Merton's study of the natural world shaped his spirituality in profound ways, and he was one of the first writers to raise concern about ecological issues that have become critical in recent years. In The Environmental Vision of Thomas Merton, author Monica Weis suggests that Merton's interest in nature, which developed significantly during his years at the Abbey of Gethsemani, laid the foundation for his growing environmental consciousness. Tracing Merton's awareness of the natural world from his childhood to the final years of his life, Weis explores his deepening sense of place and desire for solitude, his love and responsibility for all living things, and his evolving ecological awareness. 000438895 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438895 60010 $$aMerton, Thomas,$$d1915-1968. 000438895 650_0 $$aNature$$xReligious aspects$$xCatholic Church. 000438895 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000438895 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWeis, Monica, 1942-$$tEnvironmental vision of Thomas Merton.$$dLexington : University Press of Kentucky, 2011$$z9780813130040$$w(DLC) 2011001508$$w(OCoLC)682895317 000438895 830_0 $$aCulture of the land. 000438895 8520_ $$bacq 000438895 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000438895 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=792111$$zOnline Access 000438895 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438895$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438895 980__ $$aEBOOK 000438895 980__ $$aBIB 000438895 982__ $$aEbook 000438895 983__ $$aOnline
