Description:Joint winner of the 2014 Melbourne Writers Festival/Blurb Inc Blog-to-Book Challenge'When we search for wildness, those of us with a yearning for it, we can be unprepared for what we find. We're inevitably searching for some place in which the human touch is absent: we want pristine forests; unspoiled mountains; unpolluted coastlines. But in these terms the search for wildness, for true wilderness, is pointless: there's barely a square metre of the earth that humans haven't touched in one way or another. More, though, the search for wilderness misses the point: we learn not in those few places where humans are absent but in those places – temporal and physical, psychological and concrete – where humans have touched the landscape, or where the landscape has touched them; where the boundaries between human and non-human, more tenuous than we usually care to admit, come closest to dissolving.''Fans of Harry Saddler's blog have known it for a while. Here are observations so keen and quirky and heartfelt that Noticing Animals can't help but gain the wide, devoted readership it deserves. Now, with this special book, everyone will start taking notice of Saddler.' - Sara DowseWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
