Lose yourself in the beauty of nature this winter... A ROYAL
GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020 For readers of George
Monbiot, Isabella Tree and Robert Macfarlane - an urgent and
lyrical account of endangered places around the globe and the
people fighting to save them. 'Powerful, timely, beautifully
written and wonderfully hopeful' Rob Cowen, author of Common Ground
All across the world, irreplaceable habitats are under threat.
Unique ecosystems of plants and animals are being destroyed by
human intervention. From the tiny to the vast, from marshland to
meadow, and from Kent to Glasgow to India to America, they are
disappearing. Irreplaceable is a love letter to the haunting beauty
of these landscapes and their wild species. Exploring coral reefs
and remote mountains, tropical jungle, ancient woodland and urban
allotments, it traces the stories of threatened places through
local communities, grassroots campaigners, ecologists and
academics. Julian Hoffman's rigorous, impassioned account is a
timely reminder of the vital connections between humans and nature
- and all that we stand to lose. It is a powerful call to arms in
the face of unconscionable natural destruction. ***** 'A terrific
book, prescient, serious and urgent' Amy Liptrot, author of The
Outrun 'Unforgettable. At a time when the Earth often seems broken
beyond repair, this courageous and hopeful book offers
life-changing encounters with the more-than-human world' Nancy
Campbell, author of The Library of Ice 'Wonderful, tender and
subtle, beautifully written and filled with a calm authority' Adam
Nicolson, author of The Seabird's Cry *Highly Commended Finalist
for the Wainwright Prize for Writing on Global Conservation 2020*
