Take a wander through a hand-picked selection from the Natural History and Gardening sections.
Budding naturalists will likely find inspiration in the writings of Mya-Rose Craig and Dara McAnulty. Those looking to expand their understanding of the climate crisis may be interested in new books from Greta Thunberg and Alice Bell. And fans of Merlin Sheldrake's mycological masterpiece Entangled Life will likely love Susanne Wedlich's Slime: A Natural History.
