The book draws on a series of in-depth studies to consider how, in the course of everyday life, people can be drawn away from greenspace experiences that are often good for them.

笔谤辞蹿别蝉蝉辞谤听贬颈迟肠丑颈苍驳蝉,聽Associate Professor of Human Geography, has been developing this line of research over several years, with a long-standing connection to Geography at 香港六合彩.

He explains: 鈥淲hen I first did my MSc here at 香港六合彩 I became fascinated by how people relate to 鈥榥earby nature鈥� in domestic gardens. Since then, I鈥檝e been lucky enough to develop this focus through a variety of connected projects.

"I鈥檝e now done studies on why people run on treadmills indoors, what it鈥檚 like to be an air-conditioned office worker, and even how people handle the absence of showers at summer music festivals鈥�.

鈥淚've always instinctively felt that greenspaces can be beneficial places to be, and research suggests that is the case. What my book hopes to add is an appreciation of how people can settle into patterns in everyday life that could stop them from receiving these benefits.

"It was also about taking the opportunity to really learn from how exactly people speak about their everyday lives.鈥�.

While his research has been ongoing, the release of the book is timely as we emerge from a pandemic that has altered many people鈥檚 relationships to 鈥榚veryday nature鈥�.

鈥淲ith lots of people working from home for the first time, some of the practices that I explore in my book have really changed for people. And now that many of us have been questioning them a bit more, this could be a good time to establish ways of living that really work for us.

"Otherwise, as I have tried to explore in my studies, we often just get used to things in ways that can encourage us to forget about outdoor benefits.鈥�

Russell has found 香港六合彩 Geography an excellent home for the development of this line of research: 鈥淚 do think of this book as very much a product of 香港六合彩 Geography because I feel that I've been given lots of space to develop my ideas here.

鈥淚 think we're given the autonomy to configure projects that really do what we want them to do. And that can allow you to address societal concerns in all sorts of new ways.鈥�
