The Wild PlacesFrom the author of The Old Ways and Underland, an "eloquent (and compulsively readable) reminder that, though we're laying waste the world, nature still holds sway over much of the earth's surface." Bill McKibben Winner of the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature and a finalist for the Orion Book Award Are there any genuinely wild places left in Britain and Ireland? That is the question that Robert Macfarlane poses to himself as he embarks on

From the author of The Old Ways and Underland, an "eloquent (and compulsively readable) reminder that, though we're laying waste the world, nature still holds sway over much of the earth's surface." --Bill McKibben

Winner of the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature and a finalist for the Orion Book Award

Are there any genuinely wild places left in Britain and Ireland? That is the question that Robert Macfarlane poses to himself as he embarks on a series of breathtaking journeys through some of the archipelago's most remarkable landscapes. He climbs, walks, and swims by day and spends his nights sleeping on cliff-tops and in ancient meadows and wildwoods. With elegance and passion he entwines history, memory, and landscape in a bewitching evocation of wildness and its vital importance.

This makes Scripture so easy to understand.
Format: Hardcover
If I have any complaints about this study Bible, it's that it doesn't have a large print edition. I do have The Amplified Bible (not a study edition) in large print; therefore, I have the option to read the large print and then refer to the study Bible for the explanations. This is a fantastic study Bible for beginners as well as us seasoned vets in Christianity. A clarification: The print in the study Bible isn't tiny; it's more of a 9-point, comfort font. There are footnotes at the bottom of each page; however, Scriptures are clarified right in the text, making for seamless reading with no interruptions. At the back of the Bible, there are maps in color; theological notes index by title, and the most complete Topical Index (aka concordance) I've ever seen. I have owned and still own many study Bibles; but I am most impressed with this one. If you are a KJV-only believer, I highly recommend having this one handy to help you understand the KJV and/or NKJV even better. My strict KJV-only pastor even recommends The Amplified Study Bible to new believers and to us older ones, too. Complex spiritual matters are well explained. I highly recommend this for everyone, no matter where you are in your spiritual journey!

Outstanding Study Bible with easy to read large print
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I enjoy using study Bibles and this is my first Amplified Bible, so buying the newly updated Amplified Study Bible was very appealing to me. What wasn't evident from the product page is that the Bible is in large print. While the print is not huge, it is very readable. The Bible is large at over 2,000 pages; however, it is not too heavy and bulky for my use. I am easily able to keep notes in the room left on the margins and the paper quality is nice enough to hold up to my ink pens. I am really enjoying the “amplified” part of this Bible. As I mentioned, this is my first experience with this translation and I wasn't sure what to expect. I find that the amplified meanings (in parentheses) adds to my understanding of the verses and to the overall meaning of what I am reading. The study portion of the Bible with the explanations and cross-references is done extremely well. That there are full color maps at the back is another wonderful resource. I picked up the hardback version for myself and will be picking up another one for my husband. That way we can share our Bible study time. I am also planning on giving this as a gift to family members. I plan to buy the soft faux-leather brown and the purple for birthday gifts throughout the year. While I am generally a fan of Kindle books, I find that, for me, a printed Bible is preferable.
