Longlisted for the 2022 Highland Book Prize From Jim
Crumley, the "pre-eminent Scottish nature-writerâ€
(Guardian), this landmark volume documents the extraordinary
natural life of the Scottish Highlands and bears
witness to the toll climate chaos is already taking on our
wildlife, habitats and biodiversity – laying bare what is
at stake for future generations. A display of head-turning
autumn finery on Skye provokes Jim Crumley to contemplate both the
glories of the season and how far the seasons themselves have
shapeshifted since his early days observing his natural
surroundings. After a lifetime immersed in Scotland's
landscapes and enriched by occasional forays in other northern
lands, Jim has amassed knowledge, insight and a bank of memorable
imagery chronicling the wonder, tumult and spectacle of nature’s
seasonal transformations. He has witnessed not only
nature’s unparalleled beauty, but also how climate chaos and
humankind has brought unwanted drama to wildlife and widespread
destruction of ecosystems and habitats. In this landmark volume,
Jim combines lyrical prose and passionate eloquence to lay bare the
impact of global warming and urge us all towards a more daring
conservation vision that embraces everything from the mountain
treeline to a second spring for the wolf.
