Synopsis

We live most of our life in indoors. In this book Danish anthropologist Cecilie Rubow examines what our way of life means for our understanding of nature and our handling of the world's ecological crises. The author follows in the footsteps of beachgoers, birders, environmentalists and climate activists. That journey, full of magic, surprises and criticism, leads to the realization that there is not just one nature, but several, and that nature is where we least expect it. The book is also an introduction to new anthropological thinking about how ecological crises call for new ways of understanding nature.
