Produktbeschreibung
Finding profound moments in the natural world, M.A.C. Farrant offers an antidote to the distractions and pressures of modern life. Inspired by the Japanese practice of celebrating one feature in nature every five days, creating seventy-two seasons instead of four, Farrant embarks on a year-long mission to focus her attention on the small spellbinding changes around her. With her signature humour, she skilfully blends observations, meditations, literary references, memoir, essay-ettes and arcane facts as she explores the natural world. From homely weeds to majestic trees and the animals that cross her path, Farrant shares her deep noticing of the changes of the seasons and along the way we learn with her how to slow down and experience the world with awe and wonder.
