The book provides a fresh perspective on the phenomenon of environmental estrangement. Drawing upon meticulous and detailed empirical data, Hitchings shows how urban dwellers experience nature – or not – in quotidian settings and through ordinary life-maintaining practices. The four reviews below speak to the many theoretical and empirical strengths of the book. Some of them were first partly conceived as responses for an online ‘author meets critic’ session that can be accessed via this link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5NjeQ68e9o
