 KtB - Seeing Things
The physical world, her teacher explained, the world of appearances, the world known through the limits of the senses, is a kind of a veil.
The more closely we examine the physical world, the more we surrender to our observations that things are actually "tendencies," "probabilities." We find ourselves at the mercy of our atavistic metaphors, all the while sensing the existence of things beyond our limitations to perceive them.

This includes clairvoyance (seeing things at a distance farther than our normal vision would allow) and clairaudience (hearing things at a greater distance than our normal hearing would allow).

We use the word “culture” promiscuously be­cause it seems to prevent conflicts by assigning things to separate groups that are expected to leave one another alone.
But modern science is the most powerful of these groups, and when it is given the status of culture, it tends to gobble up all the other cultures, setting itself up as arbiter and defining what is a legitimate culture for everyone else.
But to assume that the models science sets up to explain certain phenomena are identical with reality itself is to practice a kind of systematic dumbness.

 Amazon.com: Seeing Things Whole: The Essential John Wesley Powell: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This was the central focus of Powell's bioregional vision, and it remains a model for governance that many westerners see as a viable solution to the resource management conflicts that continue to bedevil the region.
Section introductions and extensive descriptive notes take the reader through the evolution of Powell's interests and ideas from his role as an officer in the Civil War through his critique of Social Darwinism and landmark categorization of Indian languages, to the climatic yet ultimately futile battles he fought to win adoption of his land-use proposals.
Seeing Things Whole presents the essence of the extraordinary legacy that John Wesley Powell has left to the American people, and to people everywhere who strive to reconcile the demands of society with the imperatives of the land.
