Vanishing Landscapes by Bonnie Lander Johnson
Vanishing Landscapes by Bonnie Lander Johnson is a lyrical and deeply personal meditation on the disappearing natural world and what it means to witness its loss. Weaving together memoir, cultural history, and environmental insight, Johnson explores the landscapes that shaped her from her Australian childhood to the threatened ecosystems of Britain.
With poetic prose and profound reflection, this book invites readers to consider the emotional and spiritual cost of ecological destruction and how memory, place, and belonging are intimately tied to the land.

Memorable Quote (from the book)
"To lose a landscape is to lose a language one written in wind, soil, and silence."
Translation (Sinhala):
"භූ දෘශ්යයක් අහිමි වීම යනු සුළඟ, මැටි සහ නිවන්සෙන් ලියන භාෂාවක් අහිමි වීමයි."
Translation (Tamil):
"ஒரு நிலத்தை இழக்கிறோம் என்றால், அது காற்றிலும் மண்ணிலும் மௌனத்திலும் எழுதப்பட்ட மொழியை இழப்பதாகும்."
