Words to Love a Planet : An Illustrated Dictionary of Language, Landscape and Life

From the New York Times bestselling author of "Lost in Translation" comes a beautifully illustrated dictionary that reconnects us to nature, time, and place.

This heartfelt collection celebrates the poetry of language and the quiet power of noticing. Motivated by a deep care for both words and the world, Sanders invites readers to reimagine their relationship with the planet through a lens of linguistic wonder.

Across seven evocative themes – ranging from seasons and land to time and water – over two hundred words in more than eighty languages illuminate the textures of landscape, feeling, weather, and thought. Each entry includes a pronunciation guide, thoughtful definition, and etymological or cultural context, gently guiding the reader toward a more attentive, grounded way of living.

"Words to Love a Planet" is a soft and evocative place to land – a dictionary not just of definitions, but of hope, memory, and connection. Perfect for readers seeking beautiful books and purpose-driven content.
