Robert MacFarlane's The Wild Places (2008) is the second in series of books. Here he travels to the remote areas of the British Isles on a quest to find wildness linking his walks with geology, history, literature, art and many aspects of the natural world.
Good points:
A map the remaining wild places of the British Isles
Beautiful descriptions of the places and journeys
Emotive description of the death of his friend, Rodger Deakin
Bad points:
I loved it but any negative points are similar to "the old ways".
There is no negative criticisms - often MacFarlane makes a point but doesn't give his personal opinion on things.
