1638651631947350018 | I would not have predicted that in the 15 years I have been studying psychology, @RobGMacfarlane’s book about underground landscapes would turn out to be one of the most profound books I have read about humanity - an absolute joy to read https://t.co/4LsSqVLWgK | 59 |
1638234441955831808 | A thread in which I pay tribute to @RobGMacfarlane In 2005 Rob wrote a series of Essays in the Guardian called Common Ground. In these essays he called for a publisher to start a new list of books publishing the forgotten classics of Nature Writing. https://t.co/H2Uhgp7NNB | 42 |

1639272977794465797 | @RobGMacfarlane In 2019, Harvard Divinity school cut down a ~300 year old oak tree on its campus to make way for a building expansion. I made ink from acorn caps I gathered before the tree came down and made a little chapbook about trees and bodies and ghosts (these are some of the pages!) https://t.co/7E7gTrSk11 | 14 |
1638592049929756688 | Lovely to see THE LANGUAGE OF TREES included alongside these beautiful books in or about translation.

1637450497832394755 | The great ungiving - a phrase borrowed from @RobGMacfarlane describing thawing of ice or snow in a landscape - I love how it reveals temporary shapes textures & patterns allowing us to capture never to be repeated images and scenes - this is Gladhouse Reservoir south of Edinburgh https://t.co/wVepflMmCJ | 8 |

1637940108073791488 | Currently going through the difficult phase of reading a book by @RobGMacfarlane that makes one want to pack a bag, swim in some river and sleep in some hedge in any remote location. Not entering a shop for outdoor-gear anytime soon for reasons of financial safety. 😅 https://t.co/TQl1YlcvCj | 97 |
1637435823585996800 | Thank you @talesartplay for finding this little gem. @RobGMacfarlane as you can see I haven't changed much over the years.
