About this book

Examines the yearning for nature that most of us experience, indistinguishable from the loss of a 'sense of belonging' characteristic of the constructed world. The first response is to seek wildness in virgin nature; but Mitchell shows why this is not the best answer, and that instead we should learn, especially in solitude, to see wildness in our familar and near surroundings, such as gardens.
