Embrace Fearlessly the Burning World

Two quotes from Rebecca Solnit's introduction explain this book so well:

1. The love of place can sustain a life, and we usually talk as though it's an unreciprocated love, a one-way street. These essays show why that is wrong. The places love us back in how they steady and sustain us, teach us, shelter us, guide us, feed us... So, in a sense, in learning to love the Earth and particular places in it, we are learning to love back what loved us all along.

2.‘unhurried... an act of resistance to our hurried, harried, distracted era'.
