Joanna Cannon Emma Mitchell has suffered with depression - or as
she calls it, 'the grey slug' - for twenty-five years. In 2003, she
moved from the city to the edge of the Cambridgeshire Fens and
began to take walks in the countryside around her new home,
photographing, collecting and drawing as she went. Each walk lifted
her mood, proving to be as medicinal as any talking therapy or
pharmaceutical. In Emma's hand-illustrated diary, she takes us with
her as she follows the local paths and trails, sharing her nature
finds over the course of a year. Reflecting on how these encounters
impact her mood, Emma's candid account of her own struggles is a
powerful testament to how reconnecting with nature may offer some
answers to today's mental health epidemic. Written with Emma's
characteristic wit and frankness, and filled with her beautiful
drawings, paintings and photography, this is a truly unique book
for anyone who has ever felt drawn to nature and wondered about its
influence over us.

her interactions with nature and its healing properties, she
recorded, month by month, a year of her nature finds and wildlife
discoveries and the science behind how nature affects our
neurochemistry. Now, in this stunning journal, she invites her many

natural world. Full of Emma’s exquisite artworks and photographs,

along with prompts and ideas that will help to unlock the
readers’ experience of nature. It shows how reconnecting with the

for you to write about your own thoughts, feelings and experiences.

We are often told that mean welfare is what the public wants.
Whether or not that's true, this book encourages us to at least be
honest about what that entails. It explores how diverse welfare
users navigate the personal and practical hurdles of Australia's
so-called social security system, where benefits are deliberately
meagre and come with strings attached. Based on ethnographic
fieldwork in a region of Sydney known for ethnic diversity and
socio-economic disadvantage, Emma Mitchell brings her own
experience of belonging to a poor family long reliant on welfare to
her research. This book shows the different cultural resources that
people bring to welfare encounters with a sensitivity and subtlety
that are often missing in both sympathetic and cynical accounts of
life on welfare.
Emma Mitchell has suffered with depression - or as she calls it, 'the grey slug' - for twenty-five years. In 2003, she moved from the city to the edge of the Cambridgeshire Fens and began to take walks in the countryside around her new home, photographing, collecting and drawing as she went. Each walk lifted her mood, proving to be as medicinal as any talking therapy or pharmaceutical.
In Emma's hand-illustrated diary, she takes us with her as she follows the paths and trails around her cottage and further afield, sharing her nature finds and tracking the lives of local flora and fauna over the course of a year. Reflecting on how these encounters impact her mood, Emma's moving and candid account of her own struggles is a powerful testament to how reconnecting with nature may offer some answers to today's mental health epidemic. While charting her own seasonal highs and lows, she also explains the science behind such changes, calling on new research into such areas as forest bathing and the ways in which our bodies and minds respond to plants and wildlife when we venture outdoors.
Written with Emma's characteristic wit and frankness, and filled with her beautiful drawings, paintings and photography, this is a truly unique book for anyone who has ever felt drawn to nature and wondered about its influence over us.
