Books about wilderness

189 books in our catalogue · showing 97–144

Wild places and what they ask of the people who go to them: remote national parks, mountains, forests and coasts. This shelf brings together nature writing, narrative non-fiction and practical backcountry books, from weekend trips to long expeditions.

For the debate over how much land should be left to itself, see Rewilding and Conservation; for the long-distance version, Long-distance walking.
