Several years ago, Jane Rawson packed up her beloved inner-city home and moved to the bush. Scared about what climate change would do to the big city, and keen to meet more animals, she found a new home in a cottage in the Huon Valley. But in a place where nature never really leaves you alone, she had to confront her uncomfortable relationship with the outdoors.

A lyrical work of creative nonfiction, Human/Nature is an exploration of how and why we think about the natural world the way we do. If you've ever asked yourself whether humans are ruining nature, whether there's a better way for us to belong, or whether it's possible to love both the environment and your cat, you're not alone. This exquisite, contemplative book is for anyone who has ever wondered where they fit in the natural world.

'In this funny, provocative and profoundly moving book, Jane Rawson brilliantly unravels the myths about the boundaries of the human and the non-human, the natural and the unnatural, and love and death that shape our thinking about not just the environment, but our history and the future that is already overtaking us. Read it: it's utterly marvellous.' - James Bradley, author of Deep Water
