Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist by Paul Kingsnorth (Faber and Faber, £14.99)

THIS fascinating book raises some fundamental questions about our relationship with the environment.

Made up of a series of articles that Paul Kingsnorth wrote in publications between 2009 and 2016, the result is an account of a man plotting his own path through life, while trying to make sense of the world in which he lives.
