Description
Beautifully written and intellectually fascinating, Everybody Needs Beauty In Search of the Nature Cure explores the connection between nature and health in a way that is both deeply personal and profoundly insightful. Drawing on history, science, literature and art, Samantha Walton reveals the roots of the nature cure and its potential to lead us towards a more just and radical way of life. As we face an unprecedented crisis of mental health, social injustice and environmental devastation, the search for the nature cure is more urgent now than ever. This book scrutinises the harmful trends of a wellness industry that seeks to exploit our relationship with the natural world, while exploring how the nature cure might offer a real means of recovery - not just for individuals, but for society and nature itself. With impeccable research and a clear vision, Walton shows that the nature cure has deep roots, but also presents a compelling case for its relevance in today's world.
