I took my time dipping into this book and enjoying its beauty.
This lovely book is a comforting quilt of beautiful photographs, quotes and essays on finding your way in Nature, even timelines giving a historical perspective of environmental milestones and mini-bios of inspiring women.
Just leafing through the pages, you get an idea of the scope of the book and its themes.
Chapters include:
* Brave the Great Unknown
* In Nature We Trust
* Sleep under the Stars
* Say Yes to Adventure
There are lovely quotes from the famous (John Muir, Khalil Gibran, Ralph Waldo Emerson) and not-so-famous (Stormy Light [yes, that is her name], Kaitlyn Lamb) to provide points to contemplate. The mini-biographies are of some leading environmental and conservation advocates, some I knew (like Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey) and others were new to me (like Margaret Thomas Murie and Isatou Ceesay).
There are parts that might be a little woo-woo, but overall it’s a lovely, thoughtful book. Pick it up and walk with Nature for a bit.
Quotes I liked:
The good new is that if change is a constant, then humans can choose to change things for the better…The same concept applies to you - as change is a constant in your existence, you can hone your education and behavior to continue to grow and change to reach your fullest potential.
Get outside and reconnect with who you came here to be.
Many thanks to Net Galley & Quarto Publishing for this ARC.

Some chapter headings in this title are: Walk Your Own Path; Change is the Only Constant; Breathe the Wild Air; Sleep Under the Stars’ Get Inspired, Say Yes to Adventure and Bloom Like a Flower. Inspired? Keep reading.
Within these pages are beautiful photographs, timelines, stories of women from many walks of life, questions to think about and more. The power of nature in our lives and the need to spend time outdoors are made clear. All in all, this is a book for learning and for thinking about the way one wants to live. It is a sort of self-help book but not like any other that I have seen.

This was a beautiful book to turn to when you are feeling disconnected and looking to turn to nature to find some peace.
It features beautiful illustrations and inspiring quotes.
There are some interesting facts and timelines found in the sidebar eg history of New York City parks
The main structure is the stories of female pioneers in nature alongside guidance and discussion on ways to bring nature into your life. I would have preferred the book simply focused on the tales of true life women as I found those sections much more interesting and inspiring.
This is a book I would not purchase for myself but I would be happy to buy it as a gift.
Many thanks to the publisher for providing me with a digital ARC through Netgalley to provide an honest review.
