'Gorgeous ... a joyful reminder that there are still wonders to be found in Ireland wherever we give nature an inch to flourish' IRISH INDEPENDENT

sensuous celebration of nature.' MANCHAN MAGAN

'A hugely important, and simply delightful, book.' EOGHAN DALTUN, author of An Irish Atlantic Rainforest

OPEN UP TO A NOURISHING NEW RELATIONSHIP WITH IRELAND'S WILD WORLD.

Wild Embrace is about cultivating curiosity and awe in nature, in a time of eco-anxiety and overwhelm. As ecologist Anja Murray opens our eyes to the hidden bounty of the land, sea and sky around us, we head out on a unique journey through the Irish landscape.

She explores the joy of foraging, the marvels of Irish birds, the roles of our native trees in environmental regeneration, nature at night and in the city, and much more - including fascinating insights into our ecological past.

With beautiful illustrations by Jane Carkill (@lamblittle), Wild Embrace awakens our senses to the everyday environmental wonders within reach, as we set out on a path to empowered change into the future.
Industry Reviews
Both a rallying call and supremely useful handbook, Wild Embrace is gratifyingly full of practical tips on connecting with the natural world - Irish Times

Ireland needs to rekindle its lost love of nature, and Anja Murray's sparkling, accessible and often romantic personal account, with illustrations by Jane Carkill, is a very good place to start - Sunday Business Post

"In Wild Embrace, Anja Murray takes us on a fantastic adventure of rediscovery: of the fragments of wild nature that still exist all around and of the place within every one of us that yearns for reconnection with this hidden world. You rightly won't find any avoidance of the desperate state of Irish nature in this book. But hope for recovery is identified in the "three-legged stool of wonder, knowledge and action". In other words, by deeply engaging with the wild once more, learning a little of how ecosystems really work, and rolling up our sleeves to finally do what needs doing, nature can, and will, come roaring back. A hugely important, and simply delightful, book." - Eoghan Daltun

Anja Murray showcases our stunning natural beauty at its very best while also providing the means to enjoy it - Irish Mail on Sunday

Murray's book is scattered with nature hacks, simple ways to connect us to the living world that is in us and everywhere around us. The book is full of fascinating science that make the background hum of the plant and animal worlds sing louder - Irish Times

Murray's book was written to charm us into re-forging our surrendered relationships with nature - Irish Examiner
