Underland
Robert Macfarlane
W. W. Norton & Company
Robert Macfarlane takes readers into the dark in order to see. In his early works, the author scaled mountains, then traversed old paths. Here, he spelunks and excavates. Not for riches and bounty, but for shadows and truth. Far underground he explores tunnels, caves, catacombs, nuclear silos, and dark matter observatories. He passes mycorrhizae and follows Parisian punks through impossible cracks, pushing through claustrophobia and returning aboveground exalted with the knowledge of hidden worlds beneath.
