Sinossi
From Jay Griffiths, the author of the award-winning Wild comes a passionate polemic defence of childhood
'Her work isn't just good -- it's necessary' Philip Pullman
In Kith, Jay Griffiths seeks to discover why we deny our children the freedoms of space, time and the natural world.
Visiting communities as far apart as West Papua and the Arctic, as well as the UK, and delving into history, philosophy, language and literature, she explores how children's affinity for nature is an essential and universal element of childhood.
It is a journey deep into the heart of what it means to be a child, and it is central to all our experiences, young and old.
'An impassioned, visionary plea to restore to our children the spirit of adventure, freedom and closeness to nature that is their birthright. We must hear it and act on it before it is too late' Iain McGilchrist
'Jay Griffiths writes with such richness and mischief about the one thing that could truly save the world: its children' KT Tunstall

Kith: The Riddle of the Childscape
Da: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Codice articolo mon0000013264

It is ablaze with her love of the physical world and her passionate moral sense that goodness and a true relation with nature are intimately connected.
