Many of you responded with some wonderful suggestions for readings for a grad course on self and place. Thank you thank you! Now to choose...following is a partial list of your recommendations. Some of you mentioned your interest in the class, and in the grad program itself--the master of Liberal Studies in Good and Sustainable Societies is a very rigorous, community minded program. Should any of you wish more info to pass along to your own students, let me know.

Margaret Atwood, Surfacing
Peter Dickinson, Yamsi: A year in the Life of a Wilderness Ranch
Mary Gordon, Seeing through Places
Belden Lane, Landscapes of the Sacred
Walker Percy, "Loss of Creature"
Kim Stafford, Having Everything Right
Susan Tweits, Barren, Wild, & Worthless
Freeman House, Totem Salmon
Nabhan & Trimble, Geography of Childhood
Olsen & Cairns, The Sacred Place
Luther Standing Bear, Land of the Spotted Eagle
Ursula LeGuin, The Dispossessed
Robert Michael Pyle, Thundertree
Luci Tapahanso, Scott Russell Sanders, Wendell Berry....

Has anyone taught Rebecca Solnit's Savage Dreams? How about Lucy
Lippard's Lure of the Local? With what success?

Thanks again,
