Description:
|
The limited joy in Michael McCarthy's troubled Merseyside childhood came from his exposure to nature, so much so that it ultimately nudged him down the path of writing about it for a living.
Now a veteran environmental journalist, he draws from his experience and awe of the natural world to conclude that to be fully human requires us to embrace the joy of nature. Weaving the personal and the political, and the destruction of the environment with the solace it offers, this engrossing book asks us to re-evaluate our relationship with nature.
Sincere and moving, this is an ode to the planet, teeming with details of the natural world and with an unforgettable message.
Comments from BDS Reviewers:"This book alerts us to so many things we must be aware of and do something about before it's too late."
"This book would appeal to all ages if the reader is interested in the world about them."
"I enjoyed reading about the author's love of nature that was awakened in him through dire personal circumstances."
"A thoroughly enjoyable and engrossing read with an unforgettable message."
"Very well written and readable and with a purpose - to present us with a theory with which to combat further destruction of the natural world."
