‘Andy Hamilton offers something rare these days — hope. Whilst acknowledging the mess we’ve made of the planet he points us in a new direction — back to our literal and metaphorical roots. He knows the only way we can heal our world — and heal our inner disquiet — is by inviting the natural world back into our lives. He reminds us of that we only flourish when we embrace nature — and a life disconnected from the wild is hollow and unsatisfactory. As a guide to what we have lost — and how we can embrace it once more — Andy is unsurpassed. He offers simple solutions to buoy us up, inspire us and propel us forward — turbo-charged by that wonder ingredient — nature. I can honestly say, having interviewed many 100s of writers, no one matches the sheer inspirational zeal of Andy Hamilton.’
Steve Yabsley, BBC Radio Bristol
‘I loved reading New Wild Order. As a forager and nature lover there’s always more to learn, and Andy gave me new insights to enrich my life with. It gives a valuable perspective on where we’re at as a culture and knits themes together that you might not expect. Thank you Andy for this brilliant addition to writing about the wild.’
Rachel Lambert, award-winning author of Wild and Sweetand forager
‘New Wild Order is a breath of fresh air. This book will shake you out of your doldrums and help you find your peace of mind again with a simple but powerful solution: getting outside. As a mother to a young son, this book is pivotal in parenting. It’s a reminder for all of us to set the screens down and just go outside. It’s as simple and as powerful as that. New Wild Order serves as a my daily call to get past the desk and out into this big, beautiful world. I never regret it.’
Dr. Lauren Cook, Licensed Clinical Psychologist and author of Generation Anxiety
‘Full of kindness, honesty, and gentle joy, this memoir-meets-lifestyle-guide is a balm for anyone looking for a change of perspective.’
Mary-Ann Ochota, broadcaster and author
‘Andy Hamilton is a forager and philosopher of wild living. He ponders and then writes bravely, yet lightly on the big subjects: life, consciousness, art, shelter, bodies, music, sleep, death. He explains how the call of nature saved his life, and he wants it to save yours. Please read his wise words. He’s great company, and is your host for the New Wild Order party (which will be outdoors, under the stars, with wild food on the menu).
Matthew Seal, forager and co-author of Eat your Weeds! and Hedgerow Medicine
