Why read it?
1 author picked Rebirding as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a wonderfully imaginative book. It examines how Britain, a nation of nature lovers with over 1 million members of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, has become one of the most damaged and denuded countries on the planet.
