From the ice-blue depths of Greenland's glaciers, to the underground networks by which trees communicate, from Bronze Age burial chambers to the rock art of remote Arctic sea-caves, this is a deep-time voyage into the planet's past and future. Global in its geography, gripping in its voice and haunting in its implications, Underland is a work of huge range and power, and a remarkable new chapter in Macfarlane's long-term exploration of landscape and the human heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSHORTLISTED FOR THE RSL ONDAATJE PRIZE 2020 \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Macfarlane has invented a new kind of book, really a new genre entirely'\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Irish Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'He is the great nature writer, and nature poet, of this generation'\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'\u003cb\u003eMacfarlane has shown how utterly beautiful a brilliantly written travel book can still be\u003c\/b\u003e' \u003ci\u003eObserver \u003c\/i\u003eon \u003ci\u003eThe Old Ways\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Irradiated by a profound sense of wonder\u003c\/b\u003e...
