NATURE OF SUMMER (PB)

In the endless light of summer days, and the magical gloaming of the wee small hours, nature in the Highlands, Perthshire and Trossachs heartlands is burgeoning freely, as though there is one long midsummer's eve, a moment that could last forever. There is a wild, elemental beauty to the land, mountains, lochs, coasts and skies, a sense of nature at its very apex during this most beautiful of seasons. Jim Crumley chronicles it all: the wonder, the tumult, the spectacle of summer - and what is at stake as our seasons are pushed beyond nature's limits.
