ON SHEEP: DIARY OF A SWEDISH SHEPHERD (PB)

Alex Lindén ditched his doctoral studies to move with his family to a working sheep farm in rural Sweden. Here he records his new life, one of herding, shearing, lambing and confronting the slaughterhouse. As time passes and he gradually settles into the rhythm of shepherding, Linden finds himself applying his experiences of animal husbandry to consider our place - as individuals and as a collective organism - in the universe. A sensitive and entertaining meditation on the small wonders in our world.
