Nothing is too big or small-everything holds a power, provides a teaching, and responds through an inner form. Beyond the material life of daily existence, there lies a world of interconnected relations made apparent in\u003c\/i\u003e Volume II, The Natural World\u003ci\u003e. This book graphically describes elements of life rooted in the Navajo philosophy of hózhǫ́. A unified harmony results. I highly recommend this book as a study in understanding the power of relationships that populate the Diné worldview.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e-Clayton Long, a participant\/creator of the Navajo Rosetta Stone; Bilingual Education Director (retired), San Juan School District, Utah; and curriculum developer for the Navajo Nation.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"For days after reading The Natural World\u003ci\u003e, I found myself looking at my surroundings in a different way. The vibrant spirit of the earth and every plant or animal I encountered seemed to glow through a translucent shell. I have always been a nature-lover and gotten a sense of peace from being outdoors, but since reading these beautiful Navajo teachings I am filled with a profound sense of joy and gratitude every time I walk outside.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e-Cindy Yurth, The Navajo Times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert S.
