The blackbird’s song & other wonders of nature

£14.99

From ancient times, through to the Romantic poets and beyond, we have been aware of the healing power of nature. Moments with nature provide inner calm and happiness. This is a truth that we intuitively understand, and yet it is one we often fail to explore in our busy, technology-driven lives. In ‘The Blackbird’s Song’, Professor Miles Richardson offers a month-by-month guide to activities that anyone can do to better connect with the natural world, along with the related science showing how nature can impact on our health – make us smarter, lower our blood pressure, reduce anxiety and balance our hormones.
