ONE MIDSUMMERS DAY: SWIFTS AND THE STORY/ LIFE ON EARTH (PB)

Over the course of one day in midsummer, the bestselling author of Crow Country devotes himself to his beloved swifts as they spiral overhead. Through their prism, he explores the profound interconnections of the whole biosphere. From the deep-sea thermal vents where life was born to the 15 million degrees at the core of the Sun, he shows that life is a singular and glorious continuum. These birds without borders are a perfect symbol to express the unity of the living planet.
