The Stubborn Light of Things: A Nature Diary by Melissa Harrison
5.0
I loved this. A series of Harrison's pieces from her journalistic work, this documents her thoughts and feelings about nature both urban and rural. It's diaristic in nature but despite covering a couple of years the material is always fresh and interesting. I particularly loved that she champions positive progress in conservation, highlighting the changes people are making in their thinking and actions as well as documenting the bad news too. I was particularly fascinated by the section set in London and the sheer amount of biodiversity there is in the city. It was lovely to read.
