Feel the Wild is an intimate and powerful story about Nature and our relationship with it, told through stunning photography and thought-provoking writing. To "Feel the Wild" is to connect with the wilderness - the untamed Nature, the untamed Us, the essence of Life, through all of our senses and experience everything it has to offer - the physical, the emotional, the philosophical, and the spiritual. Daniel Fox's book of outdoor photography is ultimately about learning who we are and our place on this planet. It is a journey of growth told through the lenses of humility, vulnerability, and perspective. Published in conjunction with a North American promotional tour sponsored by Arc'teryx (Vancouver, Calgary, Seattle, Portland, Palo Alto, Los Angeles, Denver, New York, Boston, and more), Feel the Wild is certain to infuse everyone with the majesty of the natural world and revive within the reader a deep connection to every living thing.
