Praises

"Refreshing, engaging, humane, thought-provoking; don't read this one too fast."
Stephen Kaplan & Rachel Kaplan, Professors, University of Michigan
Environment and Behavior School of Natural Resources and Environment


"In our modern lives the opportunity to explore ourselves through nature has become increasingly scarce. However our need for self-reflection and the type of renewal which nature provides is more important than ever. Tom Porter's latest book provides us with a collection of mini-expeditions that are as energizing as they are insightful, and make the perfect companion for those moments at the office when the door is just a bit too far away."
