We live at a crux time, where burning ecological issues have never been so urgently in need of attention. As we grapple with matters of loss and destruction, it can be easy to lose sight of the natural bounty that exists all around us. In Wild Embrace, ecologist, broadcaster and nature enthusiast Anja Murray offers a gentle and effective antidote to eco-overwhelm, as she awakens us to the unseen wonders of Ireland's natural world. Whether in urban or rural settings, Anja shows how to nurture a joyful relationship with the nature on our doorstep and become empowered to make change for the better, from a place of deeper connection and knowledge. From the joy of foraging, to the marvels of Irish birds, to deepening our knowledge of native trees and their vital regenerative role in the environment, here Ireland's wild world comes to life before our eyes. A transformative book that cultivates curiosity, inspires awe and opens the door to a nourishing new relationship with the wonder of the natural world. -
