**Praise for The Perfect Pint:** ‘A handy how-to-guide for home brewers, with guides to British beers, beer shops, festivals, and more.’

The Evening Standard

This book is not about aspirational living; it’s about practical living. It’s about looking at the world around you and finding where it’s at fault, rather than blaming yourself. It’s about dropping the comfortable prisons we create for ourselves to find the real freedom and happiness we deserve.

We live in a world that is overfed but malnourished, sunlight deficient, overly competitive, sedentary, and sleep deprived. Our blood pressure and stress levels are at record highs, our mental health at record lows. Our eyes are strained from looking at screens all the time, and our backs are killing us. We buy far too much of what we don’t need, and we aren’t even pooing in the right position!

Yet step outside, maybe walk a few minutes down the road, and you will inevitably see plants bursting with nourishment, hear calming birdsong, breath in fresh air, move your stiff body. Perhaps we have the answer to all our modern malaises right here, outside our own homes. Perhaps it is time for a New Wild Order.

Join forager, author, dad, and everyday fella Andy Hamilton, as he answers his own call to the wild, and discovers how it might just save his life — and yours.

AUTHOR

Andy Hamilton

Andy is the author of six books, including The First Time Forager, The Selfsufficient-ish Bible, and Booze for Free. Andy originated the Association of Foragers to help protect natural land use and to form a tightknit community of those working the wild food. It has seen off attempts to impose foraging bans by the Forest Commission and has spawned many projects across the globe. Andy has a family of four who forage, tree climb, and eat as many meals as possible together under the cover of their walnut tree.
