The ancient and mysterious midrash of Perek Shirah uses verses from Scripture to illustrate the ''song'' of the different components and inhabitants of the natural world - their spiritual lessons for mankind. ''Nature's Song'' is the only comprehensive English elucidation of the entire text of Perek Shirah. It makes use of rare ancient commentaries on Perek Shirah, as well as contemporary insights from modern science. The result is a spiritual encyclopedia of the natural world, synthesizing the ancient with the modern, that enables one to perceive new depths of insight into the natural world that surrounds us.
