Is a River Alive? by Robert MacFarlane has flowed downstream, to the delta of the new books table.

Joe already thinks it will be one of his books of the year; beautifully written, it pulls no punches on how much damage we have done to our world, but it also instils hope and that equally precious commodity, the sense of wonder.

Signed Indie Bookshop editions available now.

Good morning, everyone.

I have just discovered that a small human I know has developed an interest in plants.

Does anyone know if there are any plant identification guides for children in German?

Thank you!

The Inventor of Nature by Andrea Wulf was a thick book (400+ pages), but one that I read mostly with pleasure and interest.

Been a bit bored lately after so many admissions to hospital. So getting myself tucked in to read new book that arrived yesterday. #chrispackham #meganmccubbin #naturebooks #healthandwellbeing

Since covid has shelved our Christmas plans, I’m going to use my energy (when it re-appears) to try and finish off some of / all the books I’ve got on the go. 5 books at once is too chaotic even for me 😬 #NatureBooks #CurrentlyReading #Books #Reading

Hardcover copy of Wild Fell by Lee Schofield, with a purple bookmark on top of it which reads “I am unfortunately all panic & no disco”.

Late night/early morning read about re-wilding and making spaces for nature in the book We Are The Ark by Mary Reynolds. @bookstodon #books #naturebooks #WeAreTheArk #reading #bookstodon #currentlyreading
