Lucky me! I get to review these for @GeographicalMag📚 ‘Ways of Being’ by @jamesbridle touches on things I think about in my own varied work - use of tech; non-human intelligence; reimagining politics. ‘Sounds Wild & Broken’ by @DGHaskell is about the cacophony of existence✨🌿 https://t.co/hcxl9xaKyn

When I first read James Lovelock’s Gaia theory (which was ridiculed when first proposed, but now informs much climate science), I valued the science, and also how James used synthesis, creativity & intuition in work. It stuck with me. Such powerful qualities & important work 🙏 https://t.co/b74fcEjEAO

If you’re into nature 🌿 or art 🖼️ you might enjoy this 3-part series ‘Nature and Us: A History through Art’ by @doctorjamesfox It was fascinating, and helped me remember why creatively & curiously engaging with the world is so important https://t.co/upAOX6XjrS

I remember hearing from Rob about his book Common Ground at @RuralWriting a few years back🌿 His latest beautiful book The Heeding is out in paperback — 35 poems & illustrations about paying attention to the world, & the history we’re living through, & collective grief & hope ✨ https://t.co/kAJ4xog1yh

Our @RuralWriting friend @MichelleWerrett wrote a book - ‘Song of the Streams’ - published in Autumn 🎉 Michelle knows #Exmoor, & #rivers, & #ecology. Her words enchant and invite the reader in ✨ With worsening state of UK rivers & nature, her insight is vital (& beautiful)🐟📚 https://t.co/ludmQaFDjz

So enjoyed chatting about home, homelessness, salted blackberries and more with @raynor_winn this afternoon for @the_ecologist. Her book, The Salt Path published by @MichaelJBooks buffeted me like the wind and soaked me with hope + despair, sun + rain, as if I were walking too https://t.co/Z8ZehXWCvt
