In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Compassionate Awareness is about experiencing life to the fullest, and allowing the compassion of God to flow through us into the world in mystical, awakened living. "To be absorbed in compassionate awareness means that we receive life with an open heart and tend to it one moment at a time. It means that we partake of the fruit of love and enjoy the magnificence of creation. In prayer and meditation we receive the breath of life and transform it into the presence of God in the world," writes the author. This gracious little book, composed of sixteen brief chapters, is a guide to living the aware life--and a handbook on how to put that life into action through love. Some of the topics the author covers are being one with God, ourselves, creation, and others, as well as how to love consciously, take compassionate action, learn from the compassion of Jesus and transfer it to the world, and to listen and be with others compassionately. Writing simply and movingly, the author evokes a feeling of peace and joy in which readers with find comfort. They will appreciate that a life lived from compassion is a life grounded in God. +
