Description
For the last thirty years John Lister-Kaye, one of Britain's best-known nature writers, has taken the same circular walk from his home deep in a Scottish glen up to a small hill loch. Each day brings a new observation or unexpected encounter - a fragile spider's web, an osprey struggling to lift a trout from the water or a woodcock exquisitely camouflaged on her nest - and every day, on his return home, he records his thoughts in a journal. Drawing on this lifetime of close observation, John Lister-Kaye's new book encourages us to look again at the nature around us and to discover its wildness for ourselves. It also forges wonderful connections between the most unlikely of subjects: photosynthesis and the energy cycle, Norse mythology, weasals and perfume, and the over-population of our planet. AT THE WATER'S EDGE is a lyrical hymn to the wildlife of Britain, and a powerful warning to respect and protect it.
