A great, rhapsodic, urgent book full of joy, grief, rage and love .
. . A must-read' Helen Macdonald, author of H is for Hawk Nature
has many gifts for us, but perhaps the greatest of them all is joy;
the intense delight we can take in the natural world, in its
beauty, in the wonder it can offer us, in the peace it can provide
- feelings stemming ultimately from our own unbreakable links to
nature, which mean that we cannot be fully human if we are separate
from it. In The Moth Snowstorm Michael McCarthy, one of Britain's
leading writers on the environment, proposes this joy as a defence
of a natural world which is ever more threatened, and which, he
argues, is inadequately served by the two defences put forward
hitherto: sustainable development and the recognition of ecosystem
services. Drawing on a wealth of memorable experiences from a
lifetime of watching and thinking about wildlife and natural
landscapes, The Moth Snowstorm not only presents a new way of
looking at the world around us, but effortlessly blends with it a
remarkable and moving memoir of childhood trauma from which love of
the natural world emerged. It is a powerful, timely, and wholly
original book which comes at a time when nature has never needed it
more.
