A former sportswriter for The Worcester Telegram and The New York Times, Peter first enjoyed fame when he wrote and directed the documentary film, ‘The Animals are Crying,’ which dealt with the problems facing cats and dogs in America due to overpopulation. Winner of three major film festivals in the 70s, Peter’s film was described by former New York Times film critic, Bosley Crowther, as the “best persuasion film” he had ever watched.

Nature and the environment have always been among Peter’s greatest interests. Nature plays a major role his novel, ‘Beneath, as well as soon to be released “The Girl Who Threw Stars.” The two books are very different, but a powerful common theme involves man’s relationship to his environment.

The Girl Who Threw Stars

Duke heard two more slugs hit his car and swore as he peeked under the chassis to see where the bumpkins were. He didn't see Kong or the younger woman with the knife. He saw instead the hefty legs and feet of what must have been Kong's older female companion. In a shooting stance with a shotgun in her two hands. The woman fired, hitting one of the Bimmer's front tires.
Enraged, Duke fired back from Read more of this blog post »

Michael W. Fox
“Through nature, through the evolutionary continuum, and ecological relatedness and interdependence of all things, we are as much a part of the wolf as the wolf is a part of us. And as we destroy or demean nature, wolves, or any creature, great or small, we do no less to ourselves.”
Michael W. Fox, The Soul of the Wolf: A Meditation on Wolves and Man

Terence McKenna
“The syntactical nature of reality, the real secret of magic, is that the world is made of words. And if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish.”
Terence McKenna

“I find it odd- the greed of mankind. People only like you for as long as they perceive they can get what they want from you. Or for as long as they perceive you are who they want you to be. But I like people for all of their changing surprises, the thoughts in their heads, the warmth that changes to cold and the cold that changes to warmth... for being human. The rawness of being human delights me.”
C. JoyBell C.

Elie Wiesel
“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
Elie Wiesel

Alan Weisman
“All of us humans have myriad other species to thank. Without them, we couldn't exist. It's that simple, and we can't afford to ignore them, anymore than I can afford to neglect my precious wife--nor the sweet mother Earth that births and holds us all.

Without us, Earth will abide and endure; without her, however, we could not even be.”
Alan Weisman, The World Without Us
