This bundle includes all currently available volumes of Another Escape:
This volume saw us take a new turn in our editorial direction from previous volumes; we began with a thematic stimulus, a single word, wood, to initiate an investigation into a selection of related narratives – stories of our affinity to the natural world, wood products and the great outdoors.
This led us to find a great breadth of fascinating and passionate people working in a diverse range of practices and places – from a driftwood kayak builder, a traditional Korean papermaker, wilderness-foraging perfumers, charcoal makers, to bamboo bicycle builders. This volume is a celebration of wood, its beauty and versatility as a material, the ways we've learnt to craft it, and its presence and permanence in our lives.
Taking the time for meaningful moments of observation and appreciation can cultivate the inquiring mind of a naturalist, like that of those who have taught us so much about the world around us. Our curious minds enable us to peer into other worlds and open up new possibilities. Curiosity can transform unremarkable events into fulfilling experiences and inspire new ways of seeing; it can draw us off the beaten path and onto great adventures, and simply make life more thrilling.
This volume hopes to awaken our inner naturalist by taking us into luscious jungles, home oases, and cabinets of curiosities. Volume Seven is inspired by both those who find wonder in the minute and the colossal, by those who are awed by tiny organisms, relics of the past, large swathes of forest, and the company of plants. We celebrate nature and its incredible breadth of diversity, and explore how it captures the imaginations of naturalists both past and present. We meet with people whose ambition is to harmoniously live alongside the natural world and empower others to see the value of its assets and share in its adventurous offerings.
What is wilderness? Maybe it's the raw, untameable nature found in rugged expanses of remote regions, or sprawling landscapes abundant in wildlife and unhindered by the man-made intrusions. It may be our cabins in the woods, or even found within the confines of our back gardens. Or perhaps it is something much deeper: that exhilarating and intangible sense of being unbound from our modern constructs, tied instead to our environment and at the mercy of the natural world.
This volume reflects on how perceptions of wilderness evolve and change – how wilderness has been feared, conquered, and revered. It contemplates how we may embrace our wilder selves and become more in tune with nature. It discovers how creativity and collective vision can create positive change, and how wildlands can inspire and enliven us. It explores spaces shared with other species, and thinks about how we may offer environmental stewardship and protect our last remaining wild places.
The Altitudes Volume explores our innate fascination and appreciation for great heights. It discovers the profound effects precipitous landscapes can have on the human psyche; how they can inspire fear, elation, creativity, and spirituality, and incite bold pursuits and artistic practice. It unearths what we may learn when we push the limits of our human ability and earthly confines, and it observes how feeling small in big places can challenge our perspective on the world and our place in it. It uncovers cultures and communities harboured by the rugged folds of mountainous terrain and shaped by high altitudes, and it reflects on how even in the most trying of environments it is possible to live harmoniously with nature.
The Frozen Volume steps out and embraces the cold. It discovers how extreme conditions can foster community, unity and togetherness, and how our passion for outdoor pursuits can empower us to face the elements. It uncovers the resilience and ingenuity of communities that have prevailed in some of the planet’s most hostile environments, and how living in these enchanting yet unforgiving places has shaped their worldview. It explores the threats faced by frozen landscapes around the globe as the impacts of climate change become increasingly evident, and, crucially, this volume celebrates these unique icy regions in the hope that we may feel driven to preserve them for future generations.
The Water Volume shares in the lives of those deeply connected to water. It uncovers the restorative power of diving in, and it slips into worlds beneath the waves. It explores how experiences in water can inspire creative practice, and it ruminates on the pressures felt by aquatic species and the deep blue. It encourages us to think holistically about the health of our rivers, lakes and oceans and that of ourselves, and it champions those making a stand so that we may also feel inspired to become guardians of our planet’s watery places.
The Belonging Volume takes a planetary perspective to reflect on the significance of our existence and that of the intricate network of ecosystems we inhabit. It explores how intimate knowledge of nature can enable us to feel at home outdoors, and how finding wonder in our everyday lives can profoundly impact our worldview. It listens to the voices of the younger generation and ruminates on the concept of intergenerational equity, and it hears stories of collective action to tackle some of today’s most pressing issues. It inspires us to humbly step back from our anthropogenic view on the world so we may find belonging in nature and come home to ourselves.
We are continually evaluating our processes and looking to learn more in an effort to be kinder to our planet. We admit we aren’t perfect, but here’s a little insight into some of the ways we try to minimise our impact.
Our printing and production are done by Park Communications, London, who are committed to minimising their environmental impact, and won Environmental Printer of the Year Award at the PrintWeek Awards 2017, and were a finalist for the award in 2018. With them, Another Escape prints in vegetable-based inks on FSC and EU Eco-label paper, and all printing plates used in magazine’s production are recycled after use, and all waste is disposed of responsibly.
In contrast to much of the publishing industry, we attempt to calculate the true number of copies we will actually sell, and we print only that amount. We don’t want unread magazines going to waste; we want them in the hands of readers who will enjoy them. To do this, we work closely with regional distributors and operate in-house distribution solutions, working directly with stockists to reduce waste as much as possible. When working directly with stockists, we ensure that carbon-neutral couriers are used.
The longevity of our product is important to us. Another Escape is created to be timeless with in-depth content and high-quality production. It isn’t a throw-away magazine, it’s a publication to be kept, cherished and shared. When you are finally finished with your copy, we encourage you to share it with others or recycle it.
