The long awaited new book from the author of "Mountains Of The Mind", which won 3 awards, and sold over 100,000 copies. Both an intellectual and a physical journey, this explores our changing ideas of the wild. From the cliffs of Cape Wrath to the holloways of Dorset, the storm beaches of Norfolk, the estuaries of Essex and the moors of Rannoch and the Pennines, his journeys become the conductors of people and cultures. There will be massive media coverage and a national author tour.
