Reviews
'Here we join this conservationist, composer and lyrical, erudite writer on field trips in search of fragile species . . . this is full of warnings and wonder and birdsong. We could despair, or we could heed Rose's call to reconnect with the living world around us.' Saga Magazine (Nov 2020); 'The success or failure of all conservation efforts depends on the connections that we form with the species or aspects of nature under consideration. That's the basic thrust of this excellent, highly readable book . . . Rose also has a knack of observing a whole landscape - while his focus may be on an individual species, his keen gaze also takes in all sorts of other details, making this a fascinating read for anyone with an interest in any aspect of the natural world.' Birdwatching Magazine (Book of the Month, November 2020)
