An exploration of the outposts set along the edges of civilisation and their impact on the human spirit, from the co-author of Holloway
There are still wild places out there on our crowded planet.
Through a series of personal journeys, Dan Richards explores the appeal of far-flung outposts in mountains, tundra, forests, oceans, and deserts. Following a route from the Cairngorms of Scotland to the fire-watch lookouts of Washington State; from Icelands Houses of Joy to the Utah desert; frozen ghost towns in Svalbard to shrines in Japan; Roald Dahls writing hut to a lighthouse in the North Atlantic, Richards explores landscapes which have inspired writers, artists, and musicians, and asks: why are we drawn to wilderness? What can we do to protect them? And what does the future hold for outposts on the edge?
