Het vogelboek
Een veldgidsDe lucht dunt uit. Wereldwijd zijn er steeds minder vogels. Ochtenden en lentes worden elk jaar stiller. Een bijna onvoorstelbare overvloed dreigt verloren te gaan. Dat hoeft niet zo te zijn – we moeten redden wat we liefhebben. Het vogelboek bevat negenenveertig vogelsoorten, van kluut tot geelgors, die allemaal in aantal afnemen of zelfs met uitsterven worden bedreigd. Geïnspireerd door de klassieke vogelboeken waarmee de auteurs zijn opgegroeid, hebben zij een alternatieve veldgids samengesteld. Lezers kunnen vanaf nu vogels identificeren en zich er ook méé identificeren. Lyrisch en met precisie schetst Robert Macfarlane speels de gewoonten en leefgebieden van elke vogel – hun vlucht- en zangpatronen, hoe ze jagen en verzamelen, hoe ze nestelen en hun jongen grootbrengen, de verhalen en mythen die hun te wachten staan, de bedreigingen, en de manieren waarop hun wilde leven kruist met het onze. En op elke pagina komen we Jackie Morris’ kunstwerken tegen, geschilderd in waterverf en goud en met veel aandacht voor detail en levenslust. Het vogelboek, waar zeven jaar aan is gewerkt, is een lange liefdesverklaring aan de pracht en mysteries van het vogelleven, en een luide oproep om het verlies van vogels op land, ter zee en in de lucht een halt toe te roepen. Van waterspreeuw tot heggenmus en torenvalk tot ijsvogel, van berg tot oceaan en van stad tot rivier: Jackie Morris en Robert Macfarlane schetsen de unieke geest en leefwijze van elke soort. Dit is een boek om te koesteren voor vogelliefhebbers van alle leeftijden en een toekomstige klassieker.

The Old Ways
A Journey on FootFollowing the tracks, drove-roads and sea paths that form part of a vast ancient network of routes criss-crossing the British Isles and beyond, the author discovers a lost world - a landscape of the feet and the mind, of pilgrimage and ritual, of stories and ghosts; above all of the places and journeys which inspire and inhabit our imaginations.

A Flat Place
It would be easy to assume that A Flat Place, dealing as it does in the currency of trauma, racism and exile, is a bleak book. But this memoir is too interested in what it means and how feels to be alive in a landscape to be anything other than arresting and memorable... Masud characterises with sly humour "the proper nature people", with maps in plastic pockets round their necks... In the flatlands of Britain, and in the memories they evoke of the flat places of Pakistan, Masud both finds a way to comprehend her own story and establishes a strong voice that confirms her as a significant chronicler of personal and national experience... A Flat Place is a slim volume, but that belies its expansive scope
