    [synopsis] => The author and Daoist monk shares a beautiful depiction of the natural world and a powerful plea for preserving our planet-in this philosophical tale.

This unique work of philosophical fiction explores the wonders and suffering of the world through the eyes of eighteen exotic turtles. In this vividly imaginative way,

Monk Yun Rou asks listeners to consider the intimate bond between humans and animals: the wisdom they teach us, the wounds they can heal, and the role we play in their destruction.

Drawing on fifty years of loving and husbanding turtles, from the car-sized giant Leatherback turtle to the Central Asian tortoise, Monk Yun Rou sounds the alarm of climate change, global extinction, human intervention, and environmental devastation really mean to their worlds and to ours. An informational glossary and description of each turtle is provided at the end of the book.
