FROM NEWSWEEK'S INTERNATIONAL EDITIONS
Relax and Breathe Deeply ...
Some researchers believe that humans have a fundamental, genetically rooted need to affiliate with nature and other life forms. They call this "biophilia." Just looking at photographs of serene natural scenes has some tonic effects, replenishing our cognitive reserves, according to studies. That's why we put pictures of mountain scenes on our office walls, or use a tropical-beach shot as a screen saver. Photos may not be a good substitute for the real thing, but our gallery provides a moment of Zen for stressed-out office workers.
