Reviews

'John Muir experienced nature first hand and in this book Claire Warden encourages us to do just that. With so many dimensions to this most ephemeral of the elements there is an expansive range of curricular links to follow. But th ebook also encourages us to explore, to play and to learn with nature not just about it. I'm sure John Muir would have approved.' Stuart Brooks, C.E. John Muir Trust.
