February's book, Local, sees renowned adventurer Alastair Humphreys spending a year investigating the small map around his own home. After travelling the whole world, can exploring a single map ever be enough?


Can this unassuming landscape, marked by the glow of city lights and the hum of busy roads, satisfy his wanderlust? Could a single map provide a lifetime of exploration?

He discovers more about the natural world than in all his years in remote environments. And he wakes up to the terrible state of British nature, land use, and freedom to roam the countryside. This is an ode to slowing down and the meaningful experience of truly getting to know your neighbourhood.

Local is a celebration of curiosity, time spent outdoors, and a rallying cry to protect the wild places on our doorstep. It is a reminder for all of us that nature and wildness are closer than we think.

'This agile, wryly funny and wise book is dedicated to — as the Australian poet Les Murray once put it — being “only interested in everything”.’ – Robert MacFarlane.
