On This Ground: Best Australian Nature Writing edited by Dave Witty

Book Description

Secondhand. Near fine condition.

Many of us gain inspiration, solace, beauty and a sense of wonder from our interactions with nature, and writers have long plumbed and explored these depths. At the same time as many of us tune in to natural landscapes, our environment is imperilled as never before. We are in the midst of a climate emergency that is challenging the future of our species, and all living creatures we share the earth with.

With an introduction from Dave Witty, and featuring contributors including Tim Winton, Bruce Pascoe and Inga Simpson. This unique collection of Australia's best new nature writing brings together some of our most well-known and original voices to reflect on our relationship with nature. These pieces, by turns compelling, urgent, poignant, and passionate, offer insight into the wonder of the natural world around us and serve as a clarion call for its protection.
