Anna McCracken felt an insistent pull towards something wilder, resisted it for as long as she could, and finally took to the road. Moving between the deserts of Australia and the streets of New York, Do Wildness follows what happens when we start paying attention to the things modern life teaches us to overlook: birdsong, the phases of the moon, seasons and soils, rhythms and relationships. Old stories, McCracken suggests, were never about getting things right; they were about taking part. Written for city dwellers as much as country wanderers, the book offers a gentle, playful route back to a sense of aliveness and belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen practices for reconnecting with the natural world, wherever you live\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of The Do Book Company's series of short, practical guides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDraws on myth, storytelling and a personal journey across Australia and the United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA compact, pocket-sized format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWays to tune in to birdsong, moon cycles and seasonal change, even in dense cities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy participation, not perfection, sits at the heart of the old stories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow paying attention to place can reshape everyday rhythms and relationships\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple practices for rebuilding a sense of wonder and belonging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnna McCracken is an Australian human rights lawyer, writer and storyteller.
