Éanna Ní Lamhna on a Lamhna on a mission to open our to open our hearts and mind and mind

Our Wild World, from the birds and bees to our boglands and ice caps

Ireland’s favourite force of nature, Éanna Ní Lamhna, is on a mission to open our hearts and minds to our wonderful, wild world – to help us find the balance between our needs and the future of our precious planet. In her inimitable style, she tackles the questions we all need to ask: How exactly does our wild world work? Why do we need to care now more than ever?

Where do the swallows go in winter? And, more importantly, why do they come back? Why are all these spiders in my house anyway? What did happen to the hole in the ozone layer? Are climate change and global warming the same thing? Are genetic engineering and windfarms really the way forward?

A timely new book, looking at the challenges that face our natural world, and why we need to understand it, in order to save it, and ourselves. An accessible, informative, lively read for young and old.

Our Wild World looks at: Wildlife, the great outdoors, pollination, migration, hibernation, farming, birds, bacteria, pandeminics, global warming, and much more.
