Reading to nourish the wild within you |
|
The theme for the current issue of Resurgence & Ecologist – ‘Call of the wild’ – started with a poem, ‘If I wanted a boat’ by Mary Oliver. It is about finding that ‘wild spot’ in your mind, in your life, in your choices – and even in your reading material. And in this newsletter you will find books that will connect you with the wild, within you and all around you.

An inspiring story of the resilience of the land and the diversity of British wildlife, this former Waterstones Non-Fiction Book of the Month reveals in eloquent detail what happened when Isabella Tree and her husband gave their clay farmland back to Nature. As both an experiment in ecological innovation and a personal journey into the realities of farming in the 21st century, Wilding soars with passion, enthusiasm and an undying faith in the virtues of conservation.

Soil, Soul, Society
by Satish Kumar

Satish reminds us that we are members of a one-Earth society, and that caring for the Earth and caring for the soul are interrelated. In Soil, Soul, Society, he presents a new trinity for our time, urging readers to create a new consciousness that reveres Nature and explores how as a global society we need to become pilgrims on this Earth, not tourists. To bring about change in the world, we must be the change we wish to see.

Resurgence & Ecologist magazine
Current issue: Call of the wild
|
Highlights include:
Editor of The Ecologist Brendan Montague accepts an invitation to step into an "educational wilderness experience" in the African bush, and his biggest surprise is his own response to the wild.
Annie Warburton explores the work of ceramicist Katie Spragg, who understands that people connect with wild plants as symbols of resilience and hope, especially when charged with caring for others. These delicate sculptures invite us to appreciate what is overlooked and to remember to care for "our own wild natures".
Brigit Anna McNeill writes about the medicine of dandelions and how this wild plant reminds us of the wild spirit within us all. She also shares some earthy dandelion recipes.
