Enchanted Ground: Growing Roots in a Broken World (Signed Edition)

A quest for belonging through the forsaken landscapes of Britain. When Steven Lovatt's grandmother died, he lost not only a beloved family member but also his last link to the way of life she had represented: rooted in place, socially democratic, ecologically rich. Cut loose from the past and confronted with a present missing even the birds of his childhood, Steven's mind cracked. Drawing on field work, local library archives and oral history, as well as dreams, diaries and visions, Enchanted Ground charts a fractured course from breakdown to belonging. For if he is to survive, Steven realises he must set out, like a pilgrim, across the motorways and monoculture wastes of Britain in search of enchanted ground - and those who have begun to rebuild it.

O cautare a apartenentei prin peisajele abandonate ale Marii Britanii. Cand bunica lui Steven Lovatt a murit, acesta a pierdut nu doar un membru iubit al familiei, ci si ultima legatura cu modul de viata pe care il reprezentase: inradacinat in loc, social-democrat, bogat din punct de vedere ecologic.
