Description
An extraordinary account of searching for the
wildness left in our world - spanning continents and geological eras, skies and
oceans, animals and birds, and even the planets and stars.With dizzying acuity and insight Roberts paints a portrait
of a life and its landscapes, creating precious connections with wild creatures
and places, from swans in the Cambrian Mountains to wolves in the Pacific
Northwest. By walking at dawn and dusk, in the two lights of awakening and
deepening, through the stripped, windswept hills of Wales, and the jungles and
savannahs of Africa, he tries to navigate from a soul-stripping sense of loss
towards hope in the future.In the presence of wild creatures he finds a way back to
life.
