Note to self: get\/read Edward Abbey (Desert Solitaire, or whatever)\u2026 Any of you know this guy? Want to recommend anything from him?<\/p>\n

Part of my thesis will explore people\u2019s extraordinary experiences in nature, how they break down people\u2019s notions of \u2018self\u2019 and replace them with a deeper, holistic understanding of themselves in the world. <\/span><\/p>\n

Other recommendations are VERY welcome (especially if they come in the form of author, book name, page number, and \u2013 if you feel so generous \u2013 typed out passages). Post in my blog anywhere and I\u2019ll get \u2019em. Thanks!<\/p>\n

Oh \u2013 p.s. \u2013 this blog will likely become a post-it pad for my random thesis thoughts\u2026 lots to get together\u2026<\/p>\n

p.p.s \u2013 http:\/\/justininengland.blogspot.com\/ will soon be resurrected!!!!!<\/p>\n
