Many of us gain inspiration, solace, beauty and a sense of wonder from our interactions with nature, and writers have long plumbed and explored these depths. At the same time as many of us tune in to natural landscapes, our environment is imperilled as never before. We are in the midst of a climate emergency that is challenging the future of our species, and all living creatures we share the earth with. This unique collection of Australia’s best new nature writing gathers together some of our most widely known and most original voices to reflect on our relationship with nature. These pieces, by turns compelling, urgent, poignant & passionate, offer an insight into the wonder of the natural world around us, and form a clarion call for its protection. With an introduction from Dave Witty, and featuring contributors including Tim Winton, Bruce Pascoe and Inga Simpson, this collection makes the perfect summer read or gift for the nature-lover in your life.
