Recenzii
A wonderful ramble beneath the boughs. Barley listens, translates and spins their beautiful ancient yarns
A complex and fascinating tale of our forests and the people that have lived with and made use of them
Barley communicates his love and knowledge of woods with eloquence
Like the titular character of Dr Seuss's The Lorax, Luke Barley speaks for the trees, and his ambition is to make armchair woodlanders of us all ... Barley's account of his years as a ranger is beautifully turned ... the prose is mesmerising. Ancient is imbued with a powerful sense of community'
Enlightening ... There have been countless books written recently about trees, but all too few honest explorations, by forestry professionals, into the intrinsic link between woods and humans
Laced with bracing observation ... Politicians rarely get it right when they generalise about ecology. Barley does
Luke Barley brings us deep into his hidden world to reveal majestic oaks, freshly coppiced hazels, and the passionate individuals tending them for future generations
A wise and readable tour of British woodlands' past
A wonderfully written account of why we need to cherish and enjoy the very special places that are our ancient woodlands
Barley writes lyrically about the joy of discovering new species and of seeing his work come to fruition
Luke Barley's spellbinding book dispels decades of myths about our woodlands, showing the reality to be so much more extraordinary. Ancient is a thrilling account of our past that offers a valuable blueprint for our future
A brilliant and highly readable exploration of our surviving ancient woodlands; one written by someone who actually works with them
A passionate, knowledgeable and immersive guide to these important and magnificent habitats
Billhook in hand, Barley he hacks through pretension, politics and downright ignorance so that we can see both the wood and the trees. He's a tremendous companion in the forest
Stunning. This beautiful biography of Britain's ancient woodland demonstrates irrefutably that we humans are a part of nature rather than apart from it'
A timely guide to our irreplaceable ancient woodlands offering expert insights into their past and hope for their future
Bristles with insight gained through devotion and toil. Ancient is a wise and heartfelt love song to our woodlands, a book that reveals treasure in the trees
Brilliant. My favourite kind of nature book - one that explores and celebrates the intricate, tangled relationship we share with the natural world
Thoughtfully written and exquisitely attentive to the symbioses between human and nonhuman life in the woods, Ancient reveals history and heritage that hold vital lessons for a greener, happier future
An extensive history of Britain's woodland
Barley sets out to tell the story of people's interdependence with the forests of the UK - and what we stand to gain as individuals and as a society by rekindling our connection with these magical places
