Volume Thirteen Sold out
The Belonging Volume
£12.00
Nature is our home. Our biotic community comprises a wealth of species all interconnected and interdependent on one another, flourishing in a rich tapestry of life that spans the planet. For millions of years, we evolved in complete connection with the world around us. But sadly, many of us today are experiencing a crisis of belonging and feel distant from the natural world.
This 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.

Published in Bristol, UK.
Publishing Partner: Patagonia, Inc.
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. In 2017, they won Environmental Printer of the Year Award at the PrintWeek Awards, and in 2018, they were a finalist and received an honourable mention for the same award. As of 2019, Park Communications' production plant is powered entirely by renewable energy.
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. To reduce our pre-consumer waste, Another Escape is printed on paper milled bespoke to our publication's specifications.
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 as well as 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.
Another Escape is printed on Edixion Offset, FSC certified with EU Ecolabel, 300gsm / 120gsm. We use Gordita and Plantin typefaces.
