Drawn from the union of art, nature, and metaphysics, Wisdom of Place explores the meaning and symbolism of nature-based archetypes from cultures across the globe. From the air we breathe to the flowery mead to merfolk, landscape architecture professor Chip Sullivan and co-author Elizabeth Boults reveal the sacred origins still at work today and ours to preserve for tomorrow.
