Yet the overriding relationship we have with<br />

nature – and the one that television repeatedly<br />

ign<strong>or</strong>es – is through our emotions. It is through<br />

feelings and imagination that we experience<br />

kinship and connectedness, the pain of separation<br />

and extinction, not through the detachment of<br />

scientific accounts. And it is through myth,<br />

st<strong>or</strong>y-telling, art, metaph<strong>or</strong> and play that we make<br />

overall sense of our place in the w<strong>or</strong>ld.<br />
