AROYO 5 // The Library of Biophilia A Room Of Your Own

In this week’s episode, I introduce a new element to the show. Each month, I will take on a new theme, and build from scratch an ideal library that makes sense of it. The space will be vividly described from the ground up - so that you can imagine the sights, sounds and smells as if you were there. The second part of the episode will explore the ideal books to fill the shelves and to explore the theme.
This month, I have focused on Biophilia - our relationship with nature, and selected readings from some of my very favourite naturalists. Set in a vast subterranean cave that contains every possible landscape, I delve deep into our relationship with the living world through its books and through the wild places that constantly inspire us.
If you would like to see a more comprehensive reading list on the subject of Biophilia, or buy a curated selection of titles on the subject, these can be found within the episode page on my website: www.aroyo.org
