About the Book

It's rare that a well-employed environmental educator risks leaving a strong institution to create an independent, traveling classroom. That's what Tom Wisner, the Chesapeake Bay 'Bard', did. In 1978, his passionate commitment to joining song and the arts to Bay science led him to creative teaching/performing for the next 32 years. The result? First, dozens of Chesapeake songs, some of which now lie in the Smithsonian's Folkways collection. Next, a model for environmental education that creatively joins the arts, literature and history to the sciences that reveal ecological facts. Lastly, the insights that emerge when a person holds true to his/her deepest vision. This book gathers Tom Wisner's writing, from short celebratory poems to analysis of how our cultural ways of thinking about 'nature' results in the destruction of our lands and waters--and what an alternative 'Come Full Circle' way of living might be like. Tom's artwork illustrates the lively text.
About the Author: Editor SARA EBENRECK LEELAND is an environmental philosopher who coordinated the first years of the cross-disciplinary environmental studies program at St. Mary's College of Maryland, the state honors college. She has edited and written books and many articles, both for academic and general audiences. She co-founded the Chestory project with Tom Wisner and worked with him for 10 years. Her choice in 2005 to move back to the shores of Lake Michigan, in Holland, Michigan, was motivated by returning to the beloved waters of her childhood and youth.
