A Healing Place

Searching for a place in nature in which he could call his own, Dermod Judge found his healing place - a place that he could find a respite from the quotidian pressures of life. In this book, Dermod reveals a unique insight into many aspects of the human condition, demonstrated by examples of writers, artists, architects and naturalists who, throughout the ages, endeavoured to change things for the better. Along the way, the book delves into the aspects of life which, all too often, need healing.
