The Jay, the Beech and the Limpetshell: Finding Wild Things with My Kids - Richard Smith

Descriere The Jay, the Beech and the Limpetshell: Finding Wild Things with My Kids - Richard Smith

\nWeren't they richer, rock pools, wasn't the seashore busier, when I was a kid? \n\n \nRichard Smyth had always been drawn to the natural world, but when he became a father he found a new joy and a new urgency in showing his kids the everyday wild things around them. As he and his children explore rockpools in Whitley Bay, or the woods and moors near his Yorkshire home, he imagines the world they might inhabit as they grow up.\n \n\n \nThrough different objects discovered on their wanderings - a beech leaf, a jay feather, a limpetshell - Smyth examines his own past as well as that of the early natural historians, weaving together history, memoir, and environmentalism to form a new kind of nature writing: one that asks both what we have lost, and what we have yet to find.\n
