Landfill is a groundbreaking book which confronts our waste making species through the extraordinary and fascinating life of gulls. As these fascinating animals have come onshore more and more, they have chosen to live amongst and alongside humans. Demonised by some, seagulls are, Dee argues, more like us than any other animal.
In Landfill, Tim Dee argues that rubbish tips sustain life and offer an alternative view of how we should treat any species who dares to live so closely among humans. About the book, Tim Dee says: 'I have been a lifelong birdwatcher but more recently I have found myself spending time watching people watching birds. Gulls in Britain are no longer seagulls and I've been fascinated in the last decade by the various ways that these birds have come ashore and come closer to us. In some ways they seem to have become more like us than any other bird. We might now evolve together.'
