About This Book
The author recounts a year away from formal schooling, replacing classroom routines with hands-on exploration of nature and community work. Starting with daily work at an aquarium, the account moves through experiments in small-scale farming, mushroom study, earthworms, spiders, and close encounters with reptiles, including visits to wildlife facilities. It describes practical tasks such as building tanks, teaching, and forest surveying, along with setbacks and reflections on independence and experiential learning.
