In the vein of Bill Bryson, Tim Cahill, and Ellen Meloy, Burrillo's is a fresh voice in humor-spiked nature writing and cultural commentary. Running throughout the wide-ranging topics of The Backwoods of Everywhere are themes of place and locality, and how these vary between cultures and individuals. Marrying the intensely personal with the complex and technical, Burrillo's candid voice brings humor, wonder, irony, and wit to each thought-provoking essay.

Biodiversity, the diversity of life, is not only fascinating and beautiful, it is the engine of all the world's natural cycles, and the source of many of the resources on which humanity depends. Concern about biodiversity conservation is, therefore, not merely the preoccupation of a few enthusiastic naturalists—it is the lifeline business of everybody.

¿Cuál es el futuro de la humanidad ante la inminente tragedia de haber dañado profundamente a la Tierra, el único hogar con el que contamos hasta el día de hoy? En Un mar de esperanza, Andrea Sáenz-Arroyo, una bióloga marina con un doctorado en Economía ambiental, nos guía por un viaje personal a través de sociedades e ideas contrastantes, y llega a la siguiente conclusión: el arribo de la era de la comunicación nos revela que degradar nuestro entorno y despojar los recursos de otros para satisfacer nuestras necesidades no sólo es poco inteligente, sino evolutivamente inviable.

Jamie Sayen approaches the story of northern New England's undeveloped forests from the viewpoints of the previously unheard: the forest and the nonhuman species it sustains, the First Peoples, and, in more recent times, the disenfranchised human voices of the forest, including those of loggers, mill workers, and citizens who, like Henry David Thoreau, wish to speak a kind word for nature.

Sally Sierer Bethea was one of the first women in America to become a "riverkeeper"—a vocal defender of a specific waterway who holds polluters accountable. In Keeping the Chattahoochee, she tells stories that range from joyous and funny to frustrating—even alarming—to illustrate what it takes to save an endangered river. Her tales are triggered by the regular walks she takes through a forest to the Chattahoochee over the course of a year, finding solace and kinship in nature.

Bill Weir has spent decades telling the stories of unique people, places, cultures, and creatures on the brink of change.

In 2019, Jenna Watt took part in the stalking of a hind on the vast Highland estate of Corrour: part of an immersive attempt to understand the ideas that lie behind 'rewilding', and what it means emotionally and physically to participate in Scotland's deer cull. Piece by piece and chapter by chapter she unravels the story of that one day spent hunting the hind, interlaced with her discovery that her ancestors were deer stalkers, game keepers, and ghillies on a Highland estate, who once took part in increasingly controversial land practices like muirburn and species persecution.

En Asilvestrado, Isabella Tree cuenta la historia del "experimento Knepp", un proyecto pionero de rewilding en West Sussex que utiliza animales de pastoreo en libertad para crear nuevos hábitats para la fauna. Wilding es, sobre todo, una inspiradora historia de esperanza. Obligados a aceptar que la agricultura intensiva en la pesada arcilla de sus tierras en Knepp era económicamente insostenible, Isabella Tree y su marido Charlie Burrell dieron un espectacular salto de fe: decidieron dar un paso atrás y dejar que la naturaleza se hiciera cargo.
