This title includes foreword by Robert MacFarlane, author of "The Wild Places" and "Mountains of the Mind". An anthology of new literary non-fiction that focuses on the relationship between people and the wild places of the British Isles: writing which animates a connection between humanity and the natural world where it is not obviously dominated by the human presence. Writing that articulates a discovery; a new way of seeing; an emotional response; a meditation on a place or who we are as people in a wild world. The contributors include Raja Shehadeh, Sara Maitland and Andrew Greig.
