'Beautifully written, intimate and intellectually fascinating'
Nathan Filer 'This book represents, genuinely, a moment of
ground-breaking importance for how we think about nature, access
and wellbeing in late capitalism' Dr Alice Tarbuck 'Impeccably
researched . . . A call to us all to find a place within the
simplicity and complexity of nature' Lara Maiklem, bestselling
author of Mudlarking Everybody is talking about the healing
properties of nature. Hospitals are being retrofitted with gardens,
and forests reimagined as wellbeing centres. On the Shetland
Islands, it is possible to walk into a doctor's surgery with
anxiety or depression, and walk out with a prescription for nature.
Where has this come from, and what does 'going to nature' mean?
Where is it - at the end of a garden, beyond the tarmac fringes of
a city, at the summit of a mountain? Drawing on history, science,
literature and art, Samantha Walton shows that the nature cure has
deep roots - but, as we face an unprecedented crisis of mental
health, social injustice and environmental devastation, the search
for it is more urgent now than ever. Everybody Needs Beauty engages
seriously with the connection between nature and health, while
scrutinising the harmful trends of a wellness industry that seeks
to exploit our relationship with the natural world. In doing so,
this book explores how the nature cure might lead us towards a more
just and radical way of life: a real means of recovery, for people,
society and nature.
