For anyone who cares about the future, Henry Marsh's *New Statesman* Books of the Year is a must-read. A radical examination of Britain's relationship with the land, written by one of our greatest nature writers, this book has been shortlisted for the 2019 Wainwright Golden Beer Book Prize.

The British love their countryside more than almost any other nation, yet they live in one of the most denatured landscapes on Earth. From the flatlands of Norfolk to the tundra-like expanse of the Flow Country in northern Scotland, Mark Cocker sets out on a personal quest through the British countryside attempting to solve this puzzle. Radical, provocative, and original, *Our Place* tackles some of the central issues of our time while mapping out a future in which this overcrowded island of ours could be a place fit not just for human occupants but also for its billions of wild citizens.
