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.
