Description
Reconnect with nature and discover the personal benefits that can ensue. This book explores how we can appreciate the natural world on our doorstep, using the latest research from ecology, outdoor education, sustainability, and mindfulness studies.
The industrial growth society has led to ecological disasters and a mental health crisis. Healing this relationship requires slowing down and seeking reconnection with nature, which can help revitalise and sustain us. This book provides the means to break the cycle, exploring ways to relate to nature through wanderings in Scotland's capital city and its surrounding wild nature reserves.
Nature is still present, all around us. By reconnecting with it, we can find a sense of balance and well-being. Wild Places, Wild Encounters offers practical guidance on how to do so.
