Summary:

Wildness brings together esteemed authors from a variety of landscapes, geographies, cultures, and backgrounds to share their stories about the interdependence of everyday human life-ways and wildness, revealing the many ways in which human communities can nurture, adapt to, and thrive alongside their wild nonhuman kin. With this book, we gain insight into what wildness is and could be, as well as how it might be recovered in our lives-and with it, how we might unearth a more profound, wilder understanding of what it means to be human.
