More about the book

Solastalgia, a term coined by philosopher Glenn Albrecht, captures the emotional distress of witnessing environmental change while still being in one's home. It reflects the deep connection to our surroundings and the resulting longing and pain when they deteriorate. This concept emphasizes how our affection for the environment can motivate us to take action to protect it, highlighting the intersection of emotional well-being and ecological awareness.
