What lessons can the fauna and flora around us teach us? What do bird migrations have to do with human migrations? What is the relationship between strange glow worms and mobile phone screens? Is there a link between migraines and climate change? What connects swans to the British monarchy? How are bird nests similar to incubators in maternity hospitals? Helen Macdonald has put together a series of texts on the relationship of human beings with the natural environment as if this book were one of those cabinets of curiosities that proliferated in 16th century Europe, and in which fascinating and surprising objects could be seen . Thus, the reader will attend an ornithological observation session from a skyscraper in New York, a night walk through a British forest or the debate on the relevance or not of nature reserves.
