    John Tallmadge's 2004 book, The Cincinnati Arch: Learning from Nature in the City, recounts how a wilderness lover relocates to the Rust Belt and learns from his children and his neighborhood how to value urban nature as a scene of delight and instruction. The "arch" of the book's title is richly resonant: as the name of a geologic formation molding the urban landscape that Tallmadge comes to love; as an archetypal building form; and, in its parabolic shape, as a metaphor for life's journey. Filled with luminous lessons of mindfulness, attentiveness, and other spiritual practices, this book is a hopeful guide for finding nature and balance in unlikely places. Please join us for Dr. Tallmadge's presentation as he reads from and speaks about his teaching and his book.

    This event is part of Belmont University's Eighth Annual Humanities Symposium, which this year is centered on the concept Nature and the Human Spirit. Be sure to check out the long program schedule and short program schedule.
