Three notes of appreciation to Mr. Robert MacFarlane.
First, thank you for spending so much time under ground, in various secret locations, deep below the surface of the earth. And for turning those expeditions and your brilliant observations into my favorite non-fiction book of 2019, Underland: A Deep Time Journey.
Second, thank you for taking our notebooks along on your remarkable investigations.
“People sometimes ask me why I don’t use a phone to take notes when I’m ‘out’ in the field. The answer is that phones smash, while notebooks bend. I also like the way that notebooks record where they’ve been not just in terms of what’s written in them, but also in terms of the wear they bear as objects.”
And finally, thank you for agreeing to a hastily-arranged swap, and for the most generous inscription.
