Gems from 2024: nature & environmentalism
Artemis
We're taking a wee tour through the publishing year!
In spite of events, displays and subscriptions, there are always excellent titles that we might not have had a chance to shout about as much as they deserve.
These are eight books on nature and environmentalism that we think are definitely worth seeking out - and considering if you're looking for gifts! All of them were published in 2024 with one exception - we had to include the essential Just Transformations which came out in December 2023 and very much deserves a second look.
