Words on the page have the power to transport us, and in the process, transform us. Such journeys can be far reaching, traversing the landscapes of the external world and that within, as well as the timescapes of the past, present and future.
Green Frigate Books is a small publishing house offering a vehicle—a ship—for those seeking to conceptually sail and explore horizons of the natural and built environments, and the relations of humans within them. Our goal is to reach an educated lay readership by producing works that fall in the cracks between those offered by traditional academic and popular presses.
While our fundamental mission is to explore the relationships between humans and the natural and built environment, we are also passionately committed to bringing new authors – undiscovered voices – to an audience. Accordingly, we will be champions for both scholarly excellence and new authors who have something interesting to say.
Our stable of authors is most properly viewed as author-practitioners; we are academics, architects, planners, sustainability strategists, and others who believe it is possible to create a more kind, just and humane relationship between humans and the natural and built environment.
