In Feral, George Monbiot, one of the world's most celebrated radical thinkers, & the author of Captive State, Heat, The Age of Consent & Amazon Watershed, follows his own hunger for new environmental experiences, in a riveting tale of possibility & travel with wildlife & wild people ' The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world' J. G. Ballard How many of us sometimes feel that we are scratching at the walls of this life, seeking to find our way into a wider space beyond? That our mild, polite existence sometimes seems to crush the breath out of us? Feral is the lyrical & gripping story of George Monbiot's efforts to re-engage with nature & discover a new way of living. He shows how, by restoring & rewilding our damaged ecosystems on land & at sea, we can bring wonder back into our lives. Making use of some remarkable scientific discoveries, Feral lays out a new, positive environmentalism, in which nature is allowed to find its own way. From the seas of north Wales, where he kayaks among feeding frenzies of dolphins & seabirds, to the forests of Eastern Europe, where lynx stalk & packs of wolves roam, George Monbiot shows how rewilding could repair the living planet, creating ecosystems in the UK as profuse & captivating as any around the world. Already, large wild animals are beginning to spread back across Europe, & fin whales, humpback whales & bluefin tuna are returning to the seas around Britain. Feral is a work of hope & of revelation; a wild & bewitching adventure that argues for a mass restoration of the natural world
- & a powerful call for us to reclaim our own place in it. A dazzling command of science & a relentless faith in people. (Naomi Klein). George Monbiot studied zoology at Oxford, but his real education began when he travelled to Brazil in his twenties & joined the resistance movement defending the land of peasant farmers. Since then he has spent his career as a journalist & environmentalist, working with others to defend the natural world he loves. His celebrated Guardian columns are syndicated all over the world. Monbiot is the author of the bestselling books Captive State, The Age of Consent, Bring on the Apocalypse & Heat, as well as the investigative travel books Poisoned Arrows, Amazon Watershed & No Man's L&. Among the many prizes he has won is the UN Global 500 award for outstanding environmental achievement, presented to him by Nelson Mandela.

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.
