About the Author

Stephen B. Jones, a university president, lifetime champion of nature, and the founder of Great Blue Heron, LLC, explores in this book of essays how individuals and organizations can apply natures wisdom to achieve success.

Expanding on Themes

Expanding on the themes in his first book, Nature Based Leadership: Lessons for Living, Learning, Serving, and Leading, he points out that natures routes, processes, options, and outcomes seem infinite. In many ways they are, but all species—including humans—seek the same thing: to succeed, reproduce, and sustain.

Author's Background

Jones draws upon his varied background as a natural resources scientist, educator, and philosopher to convert natures time-tested wisdom into actionable insights that will help you live, learn, serve, and lead while engaging in responsible Earth stewardship.

Personal Reflections

His personal reflections translate science through words that evoke comprehension, stir passion, elicit emotion, and prompt action. Above all else, he harnesses the wonder, magic, awe, beauty, and spirit of nature in the service of reason and the cause of humanity.
