Station points: a place in the world

Abstract

Human beings have continually sought an understanding of their place in th eworld. Creation mythologies abound in an attempt to discern and communicate a meaningful relation between mankind and the surroundings of earth, sky, and sea. These stories provide if not a dominant position for man, then at least an identifiable one... Knowing more about where and how we are in a place can tell us more about who we are -- learning about outselves as we learn bout the world.
