That is the question that Robert Macfarlane poses to himself as he embarks on a series of breathtaking journeys through some of the archipelagos most remarkable landscapes. He climbs, walks, and swims by day and spends his nights sleeping on cliff-tops and in ancient meadows and wildwoods.

    <![CDATA[<strong>An eloquent (and compulsively readable) reminder that, though were laying waste the world, nature still holds sway over much of the earths surface.<br/> Bill McKibben</strong> <br/><br/> Are there any genuinely wild places left in Britain and Ireland? That is the question that Robert Macfarlane poses to himself as he embarks on a series of breathtaking journeys through some of the archipelagos most remarkable landscapes. He climbs, walks, and swims by day and spends his nights sleeping on cliff-tops and in ancient meadows and wildwoods. With elegance and passion he entwines history, memory, and landscape in a bewitching evocation of wildness and its vital importance. A unique travelogue that will intrigue readers of natural history and adventure, <em>The Wild Places</em> solidifies Macfarlanes reputation as a young writer to watch.]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>An eloquent (and compulsively readable) reminder that, though were laying waste the world, nature still holds sway over much of the earths surface.<br/> Bill McKibben</strong> <br/><br/> Are there any genuinely wild places left in Britain and Ireland? That is the question that Robert Macfarlane poses to himself as he embarks on a series of breathtaking journeys through some of the archipelagos most remarkable landscapes. He climbs, walks, and swims by day and spends his nights sleeping on cliff-tops and in ancient meadows and wildwoods. With elegance and passion he entwines history, memory, and landscape in a bewitching evocation of wildness and its vital importance. A unique travelogue that will intrigue readers of natural history and adventure, <em>The Wild Places</em> solidifies Macfarlanes reputation as a young writer to watch.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Probably would give this three and a half. I really enjoyed most of it but it drags a little in places. I think a couple of chapters could be cut. Does a good job of making you appreciate the wilderness that still exists in our urbanised world. Never knew what a holloway was before either!]]></body>
