A stimulating collection of essays about our environment, nature, and wildlife by world-renowned naturalist and conservationist Roy Dennis.
A new collection of vibrant essays to inform, stimulate and inspire every nature lover.
Times of darkness offer opportunities to reflect. In Mistletoe Winter, Roy Dennis offers his reflections on the natural world from the past year—from the welcome signs of change to the ongoing problems we are posing for nature, and what humankind can and must do about them.
As in his companion volume, Cottongrass Summer, Roy Dennis balances his alarm at the crisis confronting the natural world with his own sense of optimism that new generations can make crucial changes for the future. One of our most prominent advocates for our planet and its species, he writes with insight and originality. This volume will provide inspiration and ideas for everyone who cares about our planet and its species.
"Practical, plain-speaking, and marked by bold proposals … a passionate call to arms to appreciate and fight for the species we have left." Foreword Reviews
“A fascinating read.” Bird Watching magazine
"A brilliant conservationist and a superb naturalist … These beautiful essays are also positive and pragmatic about the future." BBC Broadcaster and conservation author Chris Packham
Roy Dennis is one of the UK's most prominent field naturalists. His approach to wildlife and conservation stems from years of experience working in the field, from climbing trees to ring osprey chicks to handling lynx kittens in Norway—and wanting to smuggle them back to Scotland. His Wildlife Foundation of 25 years' standing is internationally recognized for its work in conservation and wildlife protection.
