"A paean to the benefits of determined noticing. What really shines through its pages is Humphreys' omnivorous curiosity." -- Financial Times, "Alastair Humphreys is the consummate roamer: big of heart, curious of mind, light of step." -- Amy-Jane Beer, winner of the 2023 Wainwright Prize, "Agile, wryly funny and wise." -- Robert Macfarlane, Winner of the E. M. Forster Award for Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters

Synopsis
SHORTLISTED: Wainwright Prize Nature 2024 'Agile, wryly funny and wise' Robert Macfarlane A search for nearby nature and wildness After years of expeditions all over the world, adventurer Alastair Humphreys spends a year exploring the detailed local map around his home. Can this unassuming landscape, marked by the glow of city lights and the hum of busy roads, hold any surprises for the world traveller or satisfy his wanderlust? Could a single map provide a lifetime of exploration? Discovering more about the natural world than in all his years in remote environments, he learns the value of truly getting to know his neighbourhood. An ode to slowing down, Local is a celebration of curiosity and time spent outdoors, as well as a rallying cry to protect the wild places on our doorstep.
