Description
Burnt Rain is a powerful and personal account of one man's attempt to live in full knowledge of the unfolding climate disaster. Thirty years ago, Roc Sandford bought an island in the Hebrides with a vision of managing the land for wildlife, but he soon discovered that the place was in ecological crisis.
As the barest truths about humanity and our environmental costs became clear, Sandford found himself inspired to take action. His story follows his journey from the remote island to the streets of London, where he joined the Extinction Rebellion protests. With a mix of rage, tenderness, and weather, Burnt Rain is a brave and unflinching exploration of one man's relationship with the living world.
Spanning the wheel of the year, this book chronicles Sandford's experiences in one of the UK's remotest places, offering a unique perspective on the human impact on the environment. A thought-provoking and deeply personal work, Burnt Rain is a compelling polemic that challenges readers to think about their place in the world.
