The Wild Places by Robert Macfarlane

4.0

Much of our modern maps are based on the routes motor vehicles take, but there are other ways to map a counrty. Robert Marfarlane gives us a map of wilderness of Britain. Well, a partial one, as is the way of these things. We get to go along with him in search of wilderness sleeping outside in crazy places and seeing wondrous things. I don't know if I was that surprised by his conclusions, not that they aren't well worth saying, but I enjoyed the journies the most as they were full of the unexpected and he does do a good turn of phrase. I did get to read this in a pretty wild place myself even if I didn't sleep outside.

He gave me lots to consider about what we think of 'wild' as a place and many interesting places I'd love to see too now.
