That is the question that Robert Macfarlane poses to himself as he embarks on a series of breathtaking journeys through some of the archipelago's most remarkable landscapes. He climbs, walks, and swims by day and spends his nights sleeping on cliff-tops and in ancient meadows and wildwoods. With elegance and passion he entwines history, memory, and landscape in a bewitching evocation of wildness and its vital importance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Macfarlane \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of prizewinning books about landscape and the human heart: \u003ci\u003eMountains of the Mind\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Wild Places\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Old Ways, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eLandmarks, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Underland .\u003c\/i\u003e He has contributed to \u003ci\u003eHarper's\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGranta\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eObserver \u003c\/i\u003e(London), the \u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement \u003c\/i\u003e(London), and the \u003ci\u003eLondon Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e.
