Naturism can be a spiritual experience: vulnerable, naked and in touch with mother earth. This book will help you understand why
-- Nigel Newman, British Naturism It all starts and ends here. The soil, the earth. Where there are cultural roots, flinty axes, badgers and bodies, the very roots of nature. Robert Ashton brings us another fine and wise book that looks forward, back and down. Here is great attentiveness to nature and culture. Here too the very cycles of life and regeneration -- Professor Jules Pretty, President of Essex Wildlife Trust Reading this book is like going for an enjoyable countryside ramble with a knowledgeable and entertaining friend, and I heartily recommend it -- Deborah Tomkins, author of Aerth and The Wilder Path This reflective travelogue is often as charming as it is unexpected -- Emeritus Professor Rupert Read, Co-Director of the Climate Majority Project
