Week 40: Amphibious Soul

Craig Foster's book is a kind of call for us to go back to what he considers to be our true home, the wild. He recounts many remarkable encounters he’s had with animals in the wild. Craig believes that there is a wild creature in all of us, and in the book he looks at practical ways in which we can let that part out to thrive. He examines the way we’ve become domesticated as a species, and how this abandonment of the wild in many ways goes against our inherent nature. At its heart, the book is not only a call for us to go back to nature, but to rebuild and take care of what he refers to as the Mother of Mothers, our biological ecosystem.
