Islands of Abandonment: Life in the Post-Human Landscape - Cal Flyn

Join journalist and author Cal Flyn on a exploration of how nature finds its way back in the absence of human intervention. Using twelve handpicked examples across the globe - from Scotland to the USA, Tanzania to Ukraine - Flyn visits each location with fresh eyes to uncover what links together these disparate places that have one thing in common: the undeniable impact of humans, whether through industry, conflict, hubris or greed.

This is narrative non-fiction at its very best. Flyn skillfully mixes elements of biography, history, travel and science writing to stunning effect.

Islands of Abandonment has been shortlisted for numerous book prizes and Cal Flyn is the recipient of The Sunday Times Charlotte Aitken Young Writer of the Year Award.
