Good morning, I would like to share Outlandish: Walking Europe’s Unlikely Landscapes which I received for this review.
Traveling for a lot of individuals may be out of there means which is the case for my family But with books like Outlandish: Walking Europe’s Unlikely Landscapes Charlie and I can travel from the comforts of our living room which I love.
This week Charlie and I sat down to read Outlandish: Walking Europe’s Unlikely Landscapes in our Studies of States allowing us to virtually walk through Europe while discussing each place and why or why we wouldn’t want to visit there.
We were even able to expand on what we read by drawing what we thought we might see and looking up other places. I love how this book brought a excitement to Charlie to make him want to get outside and explore our town. Now, Europe is added to Charlie’s Bucket List
Outlandish: Walking Europe’s Unlikely Landscapes [October 26, 2021]:
Journalist and acclaimed travel expert Nick Hunt takes us across landscapes that should not be there—wildernesses found in Europe yet seemingly belonging to far-off continents; a patch of Arctic tundra in Scotland; the continent’s largest surviving remnant of primeval forest in Poland and Belarus; Europe’s only true desert in Spain; and the fathomless grassland steppes of Hungary.
Against the rapid climate breakdown of deserts, steppes and primeval jungles across the world, this book discovers the outlandish environments so much closer to home. Blending sublime travel writing, nature writing and history—by way of Paleolithic cave art, reindeer nomads, desert wanderers, Slavic Forest gods, European bison, Wild West fantasists, Big Grey Men and other unlikely spirits of place— these desolate and rich environments show us that the strange has always been near.
