Dear chum from bookshop visited me last night and brought hugs, and more hospital reading. Scottish scribe Cal Flyn's upcoming The Savage Landscape (pub May, HarperCollins).
Engrossing. Explores changing human attitudes to wilderness across history & cultures, also exploring what we mean by wilderness.
Will be recommending to my Rob MacFarlane readers when back at the bookshop.

Que se passe-t-il quand l'être humain abandonne un lieu sur Terre? "À l'abandon", un livre foisonnant de la journaliste Cal Flyn. J'avais beaucoup aimé sa lecture, les éditions Paulsen le publient en français.

"I remind myself: if you go in search of nature in its wildest forms, you shouldn't expect it will be pleased to see you." —Cal Flyn
One of the most interesting books I've read in a while: https://www.calflyn.com/nonfiction-books/islands-of-abandonment-nature-rebounding-post-human-landscape

Islands of Abandonment by Cal Flyn is a nonfiction book about the ecology and psychology of abandoned places: how nature reclaims the landscapes left behind, and how they make us feel.
Love it when a new book sends me to Google Earth for a nosey and Wikipedia to research more.
Islands of Abandonment by Cal Flyn. Picked up as I’m on holiday and already finished the book I brought.
Abandoned areas are fascinating.
