Ultrawild by Steve Mushin

'Join maverick inventor Steve Mushin as he tackles climate change with an avalanche of mind-bending, scientifically plausible inventions to rewild cities and save the planet.'

This month's Pictura Pick is an intricately illustrated book from Allen & Unwin by Steve Mushin, a visual artist and industrial designer from Aotearoa New Zealand. His illustrations, design projects, exhibitions and design workshops explore interactions between human made machines and natural ecologies. Read more about Steve here.

This captivating book for children and adults alike goes beyond being just informative - the bonkers inventions and grand ambitions may be mind-bending, but they are 'totally doable', and we heartily recommend this book for readers of any age looking for a hopeful, proactive perspective on climate change.

For the illustration lovers amongst us, you'll love the intense detail and the graphic novel-esque approach. A wonderfully unique book to spend hours poring over. See some internals below!
