Produktbeschreibung
From an unparalleled life of extreme encounters with the natural world, Jean McNeil brings us keen insights on how to respond to a changing planet. As a young girl in Nova Scotia, her grandmother taught her to shoot animals for food and she rescued a wolf fallen through ice. Where do you go from there? Cross Arctic seas, become a professional African safari guide, deliver the guidebook to Costa Rica, lock yourself in an Antarctic research station, write your heart out. All the while keep listening, for the living world is speaking to you if you open yourself to hear its voice. We are obsessed with human stories. What happens if we shift focus and bond with the non-human? Read Latitudes and enter the natural world on its own terms.   "Shimmering prose, which walks us through the most remote of lands and sails us over the darkest of oceans - both psychic and literal - gives solace and new ways to imagine how we might live cooperatively with our planetary home." - Margie Orford
Autorenporträt
In an age of climate change, a deeper engagement with our effect on the world is needed. "Latitudes" is a witness account to the last 50 years, a period in which we have all been living in a relentlessly rising thermometer, watching aghast as ice is deleted from the world and the oceans expand.
