Hardback. Condición: New. Main. The Script of the Stones follows a single half-mile clifftop walk on the Gower Peninsula in South Wales - one the author has been making his whole life. It takes fifteen minutes, if you keep moving. But one day Francis Gooding decides to stop and look down. What unfolds is a rare act of attention: to limestone laid down in tropical seas 350 million years ago, to the orchids and gorse and banded snails that have claimed the cliff for their own, to the rocks and caves that hold the bones of mammoths, bears and one ochre-stained man who slept here for thirty thousand years. But the cliff also holds something else: the deep, tangled roots of human history - imperial violence, ecological destruction - rising through the red earth like the old mole Shakespeare knew, unstoppable, asking to be acknowledged.A book about grief and deep time, about what it means to belong to a place and what it costs to pay attention, The Script of the Stones is nature writing of a rare and searching kind. An elegy, a field guide, a ghost story - and underneath it all, a love letter to one small patch of the world.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Script of Stones follows a short walk along the dramatic clifftops of Gower, South Wales - a journey of barely half a mile that becomes an expansive meditation on nature, memory, and loss. Drawing on a lifetime's intimacy with this landscape, Francis Gooding explores rockpools and limestone strata, traces the movements of choughs and adders, and examines everything from slugs to geological deep time. In our age of environmental uncertainty, Gooding confronts how knowledge of climate change has destabilised our relationship with the natural world. Part elegy, part celebration, The Script of Stones weaves together family history and the wonder of the miniscule to paint a portrait of a world that exists before, during and after us - a world that will endure.…
