The Art of Returning to Nature

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

As our busy, technology-driven lives become more sedentary and less connected to wildlife, it is important to remember the natural, human connection we have to the wilderness. Nick Baker, naturalist and wildlife presenter, takes the reader back to our natural instincts. Journeying through the senses, his expert advice offers the practical tools to experience the wilderness on your own doorstop as well as in the wider, wilder world. From learning to observe the creatures and beasts within hands' reach and seeing and hearing the birds and trees of our forests, to an introduction to rewilding as a concept and the importance nature has to the wider world. Nick's vivid text mixes memoir with practical advice to entertain, inform and inspire us to get back to nature. ReWild is a beautiful and important exploration of the art of returning to nature.

He has also authored ten books on the subject of wildlife and natural history. Nick is a strong believer in the fact you can't protect what you don't value or connect with, and so, to this day he continues in whatever way he can to help others rediscover a natural empathy with the wild world.
