Reference excerpt

Jesse Wolf Hardin (born 1954), is an American writer and founder of the Animá nature-informed teachings and practice, as well as an artist, poet, musician, historian and wilderness restorationist. He is the author of over 500 published articles and 9 books in fields such as personal growth, natural history, deep ecology, spirituality and nature, alternative healing, poetry, wildcrafting, American history and the legends of the Wild West. He lives and teaches at the Animá Sanctuary, located in the mountainous wild-lands of Southwest New Mexico. Jesse Wolf Hardin is also the co-founder of a large annual herbal gathering called the Good Medicine Confluence, formerly known as Traditions in Western Herbalism Conference.

Writing career Hardin is the author of 9 books and over 500 published magazine articles. He began his writing career as a young runaway from military school in the 1960s, publishing short pieces and poems in alternative periodicals including Win, The Guardian and Communities. For the first 30 years, he wrote about wild nature and personal growth, responsibility and activism in self-help, and alternative spirituality. His work has been featured in ecology oriented publications such as Mother Earth News, The Trumpeter, Green Egg, Sowell Review, Sentient Times, Creations, New Thought Journal, Hight Country News, Magical Blend and Natural Beauty & Health. His coining of the word "ReWilding" – and writings on personal as well as ecological rewilding – are considered seminal to the budding Neoprimitivist and Wildcrafting communities. The word ReWilding was first coined by Animá teacher and author Jesse Wolf Hardin under the pen name Lone Wolf Circles in 1986, and was meant to refer to personal rewilding (primal awareness, meeting one's needs, acting not out of obedience but personal responsibility) as well as wilderness restoration. It first saw print in his article by that name in July 1988, in the premier issue of a zine published by an insurgent group of disgruntled Earth First! activists, and again in 1996 in the May/June and July/August issues of Oberon Zell-Ravenheart's nationally distributed Green Egg Magazine. Both of Hardin's published references appear to predate use of the word "Rewilding" by both conservationists (such as Dave Foreman and his Rewilding Institute) and anarchist groups. (See also ReWilding entry in The Encyclopedia of Religion of Nature, published by Thoemmes Continuum in 2005.) As his understandings evolved, he began expanding his efforts to reach a wider audience, from literary works for the more conservative readers of Gray's Sporting Journal, to academic and practitioner entries for the definitive Encyclopedia of Nature & Religion. Hardin's work forms a body of nature-informed insights and lessons that can be utilized by people of any religious or philosophical persuasion to deepen, enliven, enrich and empower their lives. His work has been praised by a number of writers and thinkers from Edward Abbey to Terry Tempest Williams, Roderick Nash, Jerry Mander, Joanna Macy, Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, Gary Snyder and Ralph Metzner. Edward Abbey, a friend and supporter of Hardin's until his death, mentions him in his novel Hayduke Lives!. Terry Tempest Williams writes that in 2000, Hardin founded the Animá teachings (www.animacenter.org), a self-described "empowering set of nature based insights and practices" detailed in his self-published books The Way of Anima and Home: Reinhabiting Self, Recovering Sense Of Place. Most recently he has authored detailed lesson materials for the Animá Shaman Path and Medicine Woman Correspondence Courses, and an illustrated children's book I'm A Medicine Woman, Too!.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jesse Wolf Hardin

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jesse Wolf Hardin claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Jesse Wolf Hardin before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Jesse Wolf Hardin ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Jesse Wolf Hardin

In research: Jesse Wolf Hardin appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Jesse Wolf Hardin in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Jesse Wolf Hardin is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1954 births, 20th-century American non-fiction writers, 21st-century American non-fiction writers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jesse Wolf Hardin outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
