Underland : A Deep Time Journey

By Robert Macfarlane

In Underland, Robert Macfarlane delivers an epic exploration of the Earth’s
underworlds as they exist in myth, literature, memory, and the land itself.
Traveling through the dizzying expanse of geologic time—from prehistoric art
in Norwegian sea caves, to the blue depths of the Greenland ice cap, to a
deep-sunk "hiding place" where nuclear waste will be stored for 100,000
years to come—Underland takes us on an extraordinary journey into our
relationship with darkness, burial, and what lies beneath the surface of both
place and mind.
Global in its geography and written with great lyricism, Underland speaks
powerfully to our present moment. At once ancient and urgent, this is a book
that will change the way you see the world.
