Virgin Forest: Meditations on History, Ecology, and CultureWith this remarkable book Eric Zencey changes the way we think about nature by changing how we think about history. "The ecological crisis is also a historical crisis," he writes. "If we are out of place in nature, we are also out of place in time, and the two kinds of exile are related." Zencey's way home takes us many places: to a starlit mountaintop, where a nineteenth century sect awaits the second coming; to the northern woods during hunting
With this remarkable book Eric Zencey changes the way we think about nature by changing how we think about history. "The ecological crisis is also a historical crisis," he writes. "If we are out of place in nature, we are also out of place in time, and the two kinds of exile are related."
Zencey's way home takes us many places: to a starlit mountaintop, where a nineteenth-century sect awaits the second coming; to the northern woods during hunting season; to the salt marshes of a Delaware childhood; to the softball games and abandoned mill ponds of his adopted Vermont. Always we are shown a world outside our preconceptions. In the essay "In Search of Virgin Forest" we see that virgin forest is not the pure escape from civilization that romantics make of it. Like the second-growth forest around it, virgin forest too is a human construct, one whose "different disturbance history" is not natural but is equally the product of human perception and appropriation. A nationally acclaimed novelist, Zencey has brought together autobiography and philosophy to produce a work at once accessible and intellectually rigorous. Perceptive, urgent, and lyrical, these essays are alive with warmth and wit and the occasional glint of melancholy. Virgin Forest is a passionate call for ecological health. It amply demonstrates (as the final essay has it) "Why History Is Sublime" if we suffer a postmodern lack of grounding, only a rooted-in-place ecological sensibility can supply our need, and historical understanding is its inescapable prerequisite.Binding Type: Paperback

This stuff works!!
I suffer from skin rashes underneath my breast. I’ve been prescribed a couple of different ointment/creams to use, one even had a steroid in it. They would clear the rash up after about a week. It was very gradual. I remembered buying this very cheap pain rub from the dollar store and it worked better than anything I’d paid $$ for. While searching on line for this pain rub I saw this Natrulo Skin Repair ointment. After reading the ingredients and reviews I decided to try it. I applied it as soon as it arrived. It went on smoothly and it did sting a little on some of the places where I had scratched. I applied it again that night after my shower and right before bed because it was really red underneath there. That was on a Monday, by Wednesday the redness was gone and so were the scratches! This stuff really works! Fast!!

It works.
I was skeptical of this product because of how I intended to use it. Sometimes, especially in summer, moisture accumulates in the crease of my legs (where they attach to my body). And, as a result, I get severely chafed to the point of breaking skin and bleeding (or at least seeping serum). I figured this could just wash away in the moisture. But, it didn't. I did very meticulous cleaning and drying and then applied this ointment. At least twice daily. And in just a few days my skin was healing. I'd say less than a week and I was back to normal.
Highly recommended.

Great skin relief, but not Vegan.
Great product but it's not Vegan. As a nutritioist and vegetarian, I'm aware that true Vegans do not eat/use anything containing animals or animal by-producs. This contains beeswax which makes it vegetarian but not Vegan.
That is the only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars rather than 5.
I bought this to use on 2 small patches of dry/scaly skin on my face. Everything else always says "itch relief" and contains strong chemicals which I prefer to not use, especially on my face. After just a couple weeks, the scaly skin is gone and the red is getting lighter every day. It smells very nice as well.

Not What I thought
This product came in a very small jar.
The product looks exactly like Vaseline.
This is supposed to help skin repair and itch. After a week it did Ineither!.
I'm sorry but that's how I found this product, not what I wanted.
