To be an environmentalist early in the twenty-first century is
always to be defending, arguing, acknowledging the hurdles we face
in our efforts to protect wild places and fight climate change. But
let's be honest: hedging has never inspired anyone. So what if we
stopped hedging? What if we grounded our efforts to solve
environmental problems in hope instead, and let nature make our
case for us? That's what George Monbiot does in Feral, a lyrical,
unabashedly romantic vision of how, by inviting nature back into
our lives, we can simultaneously cure our "ecological boredom" and
begin repairing centuries of environmental damage. Monbiot takes
readers on an enchanting journey around the world to explore
ecosystems that have been "rewilded" freed from human intervention
and allowed--in some cases for the first time in millennia--to
resume their natural ecological processes. We share his awe, and
wonder, as he kayaks among dolphins and seabirds off the coast of
Wales and wanders the forests of Eastern Europe, where lynx and
wolf packs are reclaiming their ancient hunting grounds. Through
his eyes, we see environmental success--and begin to envision a
future world where humans and nature are no longer separate and
antagonistic, but are together part of a single, healing world.
Monbiot's commitment is fierce, his passion infectious, his writing
compelling. Readers willing to leave the confines of civilization
and join him on his bewitching journey will emerge changed--and
ready to change our world for the better.
