From the internationally bestselling, prize-winning author of Landmarks, The Lost Words and The Old Ways
In Underland, Robert Macfarlane takes us on a journey into the worlds beneath our feet. From the ice-blue depths of Greenland's glaciers, to the underground networks by which trees communicate, from Bronze Age burial chambers to the rock art of remote Arctic sea-caves, this is a deep-time voyage into the planet's past and future. Global in its geography, gripping in its voice and haunting in its implications, Underland is a work of huge range and power, and a remarkable new chapter in Macfarlane's long-term exploration of landscape and the human heart.

Absorbing and profound
Sometimes, when a wonderful book and sensitive voice talent collaborate, you are gifted with those immersive moments when you no longer see the world around you — you “see” the text. . . This is one of those partnerships.

Beautiful audiobook!
This was a fantastic and rich book that I am glad to have listened to. The narrator is excellent and I believe the experience of listening to the audiobook greatly enhances an already lovely book.

Beautiful and deep and utterly gutting
MacFarlane is a brilliant writer, able to turn the driest and hardest of ideas into pure, beautiful prose. As with most of his books, this one is part travelogue, part memoir, part cry for the preservation of our world. It's perfectly read, and devastating in its impact on a receptive listener.

Personal informative and entertaining
Loved this book. With enough interesting personal adventures, story and research to complete the fascinating text. The author’s journey into caves, forest below ground ecosystems, tunnels under cities, deep mines and into glaciers carry the reader with him on a wonderful search for knowledge and adventure.
