The Nordic region is warming quickly, and Mats shows us how an increase of 3°C looks and feels. Wet snow no longer crunches under shoes … lakes aren’t freezing for long enough … summer meadows are turning yellow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMats talks to those who depend on the landscape, including reindeer herders and small-scale farmers. He weaves in the perspective of scientists, natural historians, poets and philosophers to understand these new feelings of solastalgia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe losses we face – not just ice caps and species, but also languages and cultures – are happening at a speed that can make us blind to them. By remembering beloved landscapes, we give ourselves space to grieve. Mats opens our eyes and urges us to look at what we’re losing – and to save what’s left while there is still time.","brand":"Duncan Baird Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47874504884479,"sku":"9781836810551","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781836810551_s600x595.png?v=1780335799","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781836810551","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
