Book
Vesper flights : new and collected essays / Helen Macdonald.
From the New York Times-bestselling author of H Is for Hawk comes a transcendent collection of essays about the human relationship to the natural world. Vesper Flights brings together Helen Macdonald's most beloved essays with new pieces on topics ranging from nostalgia for a vanishing countryside to the tribulations of farming ostriches. Meditating on notions of captivity and freedom, immigration and flight, Macdonald writes with heart-tugging clarity about wild boar, swifts, mushroom hunting, migraines, the strangeness of birds' nests, and the unexpected guidance and comfort we find when watching wildlife.
