Publisher's Summary
From the acclaimed author of Rewild Yourself comes a brilliant book that reveals the natural joys to be discovered on your doorstep.
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 story; it inspires the listener 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.
