Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

A personal narrative and guide for those who seek not just to walk in nature, but to be transformed by it.
When her father, Jack, first led her into the canyons of New Mexico, he was teaching Christy more than knots and footholds; he was offering an inheritance of wonder. Six weeks later, he was gone-killed in a climbing accident in Estes Park, Colorado. The lessons learned in that short time have echoed through Christy's life as she sought to understand not only how to connect with nature as her father taught her, but also how to help others do the same. She has spent her life exploring what it means to live with an awakened, ecological heart.
Drawing on educational theory, philosophy, and lived experience, this book explores five pathways to deepen ecological experiences: aesthetic, where beauty awakens awe; adventure, where risk deepens relationship; flow, where immersion becomes transcendent; spiritual, where mystery offers new ways of knowing; and communal, where belonging expands to humans and beyond. Each chapter weaves a story with reflection-part field guide, part elegy, part invitation-to help readers cultivate their own relationship with wildness.
McConnell illuminates how encounters with nature can transform grief into gratitude, isolation into reciprocity, and fear into reverence. This book reminds us that wildness is not a place we visit, but a place we inhabit and that inhabits us.
