As
Lao Tzu says, “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” It is a
silent teacher, which teaches you the most complex aspects in the simplest way,
you just have to listen.
The e book- Lessons from
Nature: Concise Environmentopedia Goodies by Meenal Sonal Mathur echoes the above
said quote and explains well the nature‘s teaching to human life. The book
carries 26 chapters dealing with Nature and the way it helps human beings and the
need to interpret it in a right sense for a better life.
Beginning with autumn, the book
takes the readers through breeze, flowers, horizon, islands, moon and rainbow
along with interesting haiku poems, quotes from field experts and a self-introspection
in every chapter.
This non-fiction e- book
throws light on the both the advantages and disadvantages caused to human life
by the nature. With many pages dedicated to the blessings of nature, the book
allots a space for drought, tornado & volcano proving that nature and life
both are a mixture of good and bad. The Author duo needs to be highly
appreciated for their prodigious efforts. Their choice of topics and with it adding
a right adjective as a prefix establishes their involvement and acute connection
in the subject discussed.
The book is successful in featuring positivity
and imparting in readers the concepts showcased by nature for the sake of the humans
to understand and lead a better life. The style in which the nature leads humans
by example supported by its actions and reactions is quite meticulously presented
before the readers for easy understanding.
Here are few lines from the five
most entrancing topics inside the book:
“Fly and reach the stars with a string attached to the roots so you can anytime travel back to your virtues from where you started your journey.’
These lines from the chapter EARNEST GRAVITY prompts the readers to
be connected to their roots and highlights the laws of Newton and its’ importance
in nature as well as in human life.
The chapter “KIND JUNIPER’ is no doubt the gem of all the various topics included in the book by the author.
I quote “The Juniper tree teaches us to
be content with what we have and make the most out of it. No one can compete
with others' passion, hard work, and happiness. Keep smiling and keep working shall
be the motto in life. “
GRITTY QUAGMIRE catches the attention in a different way and
makes to think deep. The author provides few steps to follow during a quagmire
situation. This will surely come in handy at the time of the need.
Xerophyte and yeast in this book get a novel and innovative
introduction. Author urges readers to be xerohuman. I quote:” So be a Xerohuman
who will roll out alternatives to keep going rather than expecting from others.”
With its interesting contents
the book is certainly going to encourage readers to love and appreciate the
nature there by making them to act responsibly towards it.
