Natural Explorer: Understanding Your Landscape: In Search of the Extraordinary Journey

Natural Explorer: Understanding Your Landscape: In Search of the Extraordinary Journey - Tristan Gooley This book is a collection of essays around the theme of looking at the landscape around you from a new perspective. It is well written but does not have the same coherence as his previous book, The Natural Navigator. His subject matters cover the coast, rivers, mountains, and being a book written by an Englishmen, the weather. He also considers the how the human population has impacted the land and has some philosophical moments when writing about senses and inner moods.Worth a read if you like Deakin and Mcfarlane
