Summary:
Rob Wood grew up in a village on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors, where he eventually developed a preoccupation with rock climbing. After studying architecture in London, England, he made his way to Montreal and ended up in Calgary, where he became a pioneer of ice climbing and posted numerous first ascents in the Rockies during the early 1970's.
Life
in corporate Alberta proved unfulfilling and Rob realized that he needed to find a place where he could reconnect with
nature
, which brought him to the remote reaches of Canada's West Coast. Settling on Maurelle Island, he and his wife built an off-the-grid homestead and focussed on alternative communities and developing a small house-design practice specializing in organic and wholesome building techniques. A gentle and philosophical memoir that focuses on living a
life
deeply rooted in the natural world, where citizens are connected to the planet and individuals work together to help, enhance and make the world a better and sustainable place.
