COPSFORD

by Walter J. C. Murrey

Copsford is an extraordinary book. Bearing comparison to Thoreau’s Walden, Murray’s intense feeling for his place is evident on every page.

This beautiful book, written with Peter Marren’s usual wit and insight, takes you on a journey back to a time before the arts and science were divided. When entomologists were also poets and painters, and when a gift for vivid language went hand-in-hand with a deep pre-Darwinian fascination for the emerging natural world.

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.”

‘Snow is transformative. It changes the world around us … Overnight, it repaints the landscape in white, inevitably bringing to mind concepts like purity and clarity of thought. Over the course of eons, it can remake the earth itself.’
