One of my favourite professors recommended I read this in the summer between years of my masters, and it felt so luxurious having the time to read it cover to cover with no classes at the moment. It was really interesting though a little outdated obviously being 30 years old but the essay on the nature store and what it says about 90s America‘s attitude to nature was incredible.

When I‘m the only one in the office (happens a lot recently, I think because people are busy out at events as summer term ends) I‘ve been trying to use the big communal table to get ahead with masters reading for next year. This was my set up today to read the tagged book about ecology and ways of imagining space in 90s America!
