Rewild Yourself: 23 Spellbinding Ways to Make Nature More Visible

Abstract

Simon Barnes is a nature writer and conservationist. His latest book builds upon this by examining the concept of ‘rewilding’ (meaning restoration of land to its natural, uncultivated state). This has been a topical notion in Western society for a decade; its extension to include the ‘self’ makes this book unique. The connection between the rewilding and the self has the potential to make lived reality more enjoyable. Barnes offers us twenty-three ‘spells’ and ‘magical ways’ of looking at and living within nature; the writer seeks to make us rethink and reimagine our relationship with nature’s ‘wildness’. Simple methods and observations are suggested, some using binoculars and rainproof trousers, and others requiring travelling. The author intends to return our consciousness to our ancestral ‘wild’ roots.
