    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.

    Long description:

    As the global climate crisis and biodiversity loss deepen their impact and gain pace, Making Nature Social: Towards a Relationship with Nature provides core insights into what it means to understand our relationship to nature. This relationship is illustrated through interviews with people working in different nature practices, including engaging with nature, non-human animals, place, advocacy, and with work organization values. Rembrandt Zegers argues that since non-humans do not use human language, meaning is conducted through the senses, giving rise to a knowing that manifests itself through the body first before finding its way socially in human language. Through these senses the relation to non-human others and nature can become a conversation; in other words, a relationship built on reciprocity. The book illustrates how these meanings occur and how these conversations happen, how crucial they are, and how they are connected. It dives deep into the essence of the lived experience of our relationship to nature and in doing so acknowledges how important the lived experience is for the purpose of a relationship with nature.
