The enormity of climate change and biodiversity loss can leave us feeling overwhelmed. How can an individual ever make a difference? Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell know firsthand how spectacularly nature can bounce back if you give it the chance. And what comes is not just wildlife in super-abundance, but solutions to the other environmental crises we face. The Book of Wilding is a handbook for how we can all help restore nature.

It is 1672, a generation after the English Civil War, and England is still struggling to return to normal after the bloody conflict. In the village of Spadboro, Jonathon Dymond, a cider maker who lives with his parents, has enjoyed a quiet and harmonious life.

But the death of his uncle leads Jonathon to secrets which have lain dormant since the war. When Jonathon discovers his dying uncle's letter to his father, hinting at inheritance and revenge, Jonathon becomes determined to unravel the mystery.

En Asilvestrado, Isabella Tree cuenta la historia del "experimento Knepp", un proyecto pionero de rewilding en West Sussex que utiliza animales de pastoreo en libertad para crear nuevos hábitats para la fauna. Wilding es, sobre todo, una inspiradora historia de esperanza. Obligados a aceptar que la agricultura intensiva en la pesada arcilla de sus tierras en Knepp era económicamente insostenible, Isabella Tree y su marido Charlie Burrell dieron un espectacular salto de fe: decidieron dar un paso atrás y dejar que la naturaleza se hiciera cargo.
