WORLD
Scientific studies repeatedly show that being in nature decreases stress. We feel mentally invigorated, spiritually connected, and more optimistic in the wild. Indeed, if we dont get outdoors enough we may even suffer from nature deficit disorder, a term coined by author Richard Louv. These photographs will take you to wonderful places, far and wide, and inspire new journeys off the beaten track. Curating this book, it was clear that humans have left their mark on almost every inch of the globe, from the rainforests of South America and Africa to the oceans reefs. But, despite all the changes we have wrought upon it, our home still has the power to evoke awe, respect, passion and protectiveness, to comfort and thrill us, to change our lives.
Billions of years after it was forged, its still a wild world.
