'In this perceptive, original and timely intervention, Russell Hitchings shows that the potential benefits of greenspace use will not be realised without consideration of how it interacts with the practices of everyday life. Distinguished by its crystal-clear prose, The Unsettling Outdoors also provides a passionate defence of the interview method in the social sciences.' Lesley Head, Professor of Geography, University of Melbourne, Australia 'Russell Hitchings' revealing interviews with office workers, recreational runners, garden owners, and festival campers show how distinctions between controlled indoor environments and 'the great outdoors' are enacted in practice. The result is a book that promises to transform long-standing debates about relations between people and the plants, trees and microbes with which they live.' Elizabeth Shove, Professor of Sociology, Lancaster University, UK If we want to understand the likelihood of future societies having regular beneficial contact with living greenspace, we should examine how outdoor experiences are handled by people in their everyday lives today. As a means of exploring this wager, The Unsettling Outdoors spends time with a series of groups who may be subject to a process of environmental estrangement that is often barely perceptible but which could easily become more widespread. By talking with those who have ended up running on indoor treadmills, those confronted by the lack of showers at summer music festivals, those who seldom consider the spaces outside their city offices, and those faced with the intimidating prospect of a living domestic garden, this book reveals the importance of this process and provides a wealth of suggestions about the effective study of everyday life.
