Tristan Gooley - Hidden Seasons - A Calendar of Nature’s Clues and Signs

Bestselling author Tristan Gooley is known for his breathtaking observational skills of the natural world, coupled with the talent and infectious delight he has for translating them into words to share with his readers. In The Hidden Seasons, Tristan shows us how to read the clues that the sun, moon, stars, plants, fungi, animals, water and weather give us - but that we continually miss because we don’t know how and where to look. Spring brings wildflower signs, Summer, coastal clues and grass patterns, Autumn, a time to investigate fungi and in Winter we look to snow and the stars. Seasons will never be the same again.

Event 31 | Robert Macfarlane | Is A River Alive?

£16.00

Robert Macfarlane - Is A River Alive?
Around the world, rivers are dying from pollution, drought and damming, but a powerful movement is underway to recognise the lives and rights of rivers. At the heart of this book is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings who should be recognised as such in both imagination and law. On a global journey which crosses boundaries of time and space, from Ecuador, India and Quebec, to the chalk stream a mile from his house, Is A River Alive? is Macfarlane’s most personal and most political book to date. It teems with fascinating ideas, unforgettable characters and stories. in conversation with Sophy Roberts Priority booking - Become a Friend - Contact TIC Bridport to book tickets - 01308 424901
