Death by Landscape by Elvia Wilk

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

 I don’t often read non-fiction books, however a goal for this year was to try and read a few more. This was one I really enjoyed and one I really connected to and at some many times did I have to put it down and sit quietly as the words seeped into my mind and thoughts rushed. Some of the essays didn’t hit for me but I didn’t expect them all to and think this is very understandable. 

 

I really felt so engaged and it has really stuck with me since finishing, coming into conversations with people and I have recommended it a few times. The ideas and themes discussed were things that I have thought about outside of this book so there was a lot that furthered by own beliefs and thoughts. I was able to think critically about my own views and be exposed to new ideas. 

 

For anyone who is aware of the human experience on the planet and the destruction we have caused, who has their own thoughts on how we have changed the planet for our benefit and the futures that we may be heading towards, I would 100% recommend this book.
