The Year of Sitting Dangerously: My Garden Safari
Autor Simon Barnesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mar 2024
In the autumn of 2020, Simon Barnes should have been leading a safari in Zambia, but Covid restrictions meant his plans had to be put on hold. Instead, he embarked on the only voyage of discovery that was still open to him. He walked to a folding chair at the bottom of his garden, and sat down. His itinerary: to sit in that very same spot every day for a year and to see - and hear - what happened all around him. It would be a stationary garden safari; his year of sitting dangerously had begun.
For the next twelve months, he would watch as the world around him changed day by day. Gradually, he began to see his surroundings in a new way; by restricting himself, he opened up new horizons, growing even closer to a world he thought he already knew so well.
The Year of Sitting Dangerously is a wonderfully evocative read; it inspires the reader to pay closer attention to the marvels that surround us all, and is packed with handy tips to help bring nature even closer to us.

Recenzii
'Celebrates the glory of British nature'
'Barnes, as did so many in those prison days of covid, found Nature restorative, yet the reader will be equally convinced by the need to restore her and to take more care to open their eyes and ears to British common-or-garden natural phenomena... You don't need to go to Africa for a safari'
