This is the most beautiful rendition of a man in search of the remaining wild places left within the British Isles. The language flows like the waters and winds of the natural environment. MacFarlane braves the icy cold elements and howling winds to find the soul most humanity has lost living in protected civilization.
The author makes only a peripheral connection to the future of wild places and earth related to the effects of climate change. Clearly the wild places will reclaim the earth.
