Underland: A Deep Time Journey by Robert Macfarlane

adventurous emotional informative mysterious reflective slow-paced

4.25

Macfarlane explores the mysteries of the underworld: caves, mines, underground cities, ice chasms, burial sites; nuclear dump-sites.  Who else would have thought of bringing such disparate places together? The prose is poetic and beautiful and I enjoyed his encounters with some most unusual characters along the way. Makes me ache with care for out precious environment.
