Landfill is an honest, funny and intelligent journey to understand how other animals cope with us as rowdy, throw-away neighbours. It is an essential nature book for our times, kicking beneath the littered surface of things and asking where the truths lie.

LANDFILL

by Tim Dee

“Despite the years between us we will see and feel much of the same world that Bach did; under the same horizons we will encounter the same paths, trees, plants, birds and animals. We will be crossing one of the most fascinating and perhaps the most significant of modern European states.”

Stories in all landscapes begin below the surface of the earth. Bedrock speaks first through the variety of soils, plants and animals that live above ground, then shapes the way people farm land, worship their gods and build villages, towns and cities. To understand the distinct quality of any place, first we must peel back the skin of the earth.
