Underland by Robert Macfarlane
A Deep Time Journey
"Underland" is a deep exploration into the world beneath our feet, taking readers on a journey into the Earth's underworlds. The book delves into the hidden landscapes of the subterranean, from the catacombs of Paris, the underground fungal networks in forests, to the deep sea caves and glacial crevasses. It beautifully combines natural history, mythology, and environmental science, while exploring themes of human impact on the planet, our relationship with darkness, and the concept of deep time.
