At the Water's Edge (eBook, ePUB)

A Walk in the Wild

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

'Full of otter-story and heron-meaning, this is a book where sunrise, pine marten, trout and storm are all characters; a book of land-knowing by someone who has spent a gentle lifetime learning the languages of animals. With an untameable enthusiasm and generosity of spirit, Lister-Kaye translates those languages into a kind of inter-species friendship.'
Jay Griffiths, author of Wild: An Elemental Journey

'John Lister-Kaye is one of the most joyful, inspirational naturalists I know. This wonderful collection of wildlife encounters will make anyone want to pull on their boots and rediscover the world on our doorsteps.'
Kate Humble

'Every word of John Lister-Kaye's At the Water's Edge sounds with a long, close knowledge sounds with a long, close knowledge of place, with a profound appreciation and anticipation of each small change brought by the progression of a day or of a season. Beautifully observed and rich in description, the book sounds too with an urgent voice, warning of what will be lost to us should we continue to take too little action to protect the natural world.'
Esther Woolfson, author of Corvus: A Life With Birds
