Description

Renowned nature writer Jim Crumley draws on more than six decades immersed in wild landscapes to illuminate the deep, resonant harmony that shapes the living world--and why protecting it has never been more urgent.

With the clarity, lyricism, and passionate advocacy that have made him Scotland's foremost voice in nature writing, Crumley blends vivid observation, intimate encounters, and seasoned ecological insight to reveal nature as a vast, interwoven symphony . From witnessing grizzly bears on Alaska's Kodiak Island to migrating Icelandic whooper swans, or the rare sight of capercaillie in the Cairngorm Mountains, his eyes and ears record the smallest of details. He hears flutes in the wind through an aspen grove and the deep tones of the piobaireachd--highland pipes--in a Scots pinewood as naturally as the flight of swans in Finland evokes Sibelius. And silence, too, plays its part. For him, our future depends on recovering the long-forgotten skill of truly listening to the land--of recognizing ourselves as part of life's great orchestration rather than standing outside it.

Both a celebration of our planet's great beauty and a call to defend it, Symphonic distills a lifetime of knowledge, care, and commitment from one of the most authoritative champions of the living world.
