Underland (精裝本)― A Deep Time Journey

Hailed as “the great nature writer of this generation” (Wall Street Journal), Robert Macfarlane is the celebrated author of books about the intersections of the human and the natural worlds. In Underland, he delivers his masterwork: an epic exploration of the Earth’s underworlds as they exist in myth, literature, memory, and the land itself.Journeying through “deep time”—the dizzying expanses of geologic time that stretch away from the present—Macfarlane takes us on an astonishing voyage into Bronze Age burial chambers, the catacombs of Paris, the melting glaciers of Greenland, the underground fungal networks through which trees communicate, Arctic sea-caves, a “dark matter” research lab searching for the origins of the universe, and a deep-sunk “hiding place” designed to store nuclear waste for 100,000 years to come.Global in its geography, and written with great lyricism and power, Underland uncovers our complex, crucial relationship with what lies beneath. At once urgent and ancient, it is a book that will change the way you see the world.
