Description
Amazon.com Heads-up to your inner Gilgamesh: 'The way into the underland is through the riven
trunk of an old ash tree.' Starting with that sentence, Robert Macfarlane begins an exploration of
the world beneath our feet. Where his earlier book The Old Ways explored landscape and its
effects on human experience, Underland dives into catacombs, caves, nuclear waste facilities, and
the land beneath Greenland's shrinking ice cap to delve into the darker recesses of our
imaginations, a place where artists, adventurers, and criminals have traveled, willingly and
otherwise. Expanding his journey into the realm of 'deep time'—a parallel expanse of past and
future almost unimaginable to human intellect, but also irresistible to contemplate—Macfarlane
takes us from the moment of creation into a post-human future, one that might be better off without
us. Add its stunning jacket by Stanley Donwood (who creates Radiohead album covers in his
spare hours), Underland is a one-of-a-kind book, deeply thoughtful, richly written, and infinitely
rewarding. —Jon Foro, Amazon Book Review Read more “Mesmerizing…Underland is a
