Supporting Lovelock's thesis that the Earth is a living being, Swan suggests natural sites such as Serpent Mound, Machu Pichu, and Kilauea Center have the power to move us in ways modern science cannot explain.
Modern psychology, science, and religion have severed people from their relationship with the earth as a living, sacred place. Further, the interrelationship between the sacred earth and the transcendental experience are not as fully understood in our culture as in other cultures or at earlier times. This book explains the nature of places that have the power to move us into a greater spiritual awareness of the world. There are chapters on categories of sites, varieties of Native American places, and the varieties of spiritual experiences. The in-depth analysis and critique of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act and the history of the Gaia hypothesis make this a worthwhile purchase for libraries serving populations interested in alternative spirituality.-- Gail Wood, Montgomery Coll. Lib., German town, Md.

Sacred Places: How the Living Earth Seeks Our Friendship
My rating of this book is based almost entirely on its writing quality, because I still dont know what I think about its content. I strongly agreed with some sections, but strongly questioned others. That said, the ideas presented in this book are interesting and worth considering. If I needed to have an opinion about the content, I think that the book tried to do too much and, if it had expanded just one of the chapters to the entire book, would have been much more compelling.
The writing was competent, but some sections were hard to get through. In several chapters, there were simply lists of experiences that acted as evidence, but were difficult for me to get through without individual interpretation and context.
