His knowledge, his kindness to me and his generosity of spirit have remained an influence in my own sphere of natural history....To meet one's heroes can sometimes be a let-down. That was most certainly not the case with Peter Scott.' Alan TitchmarshA Life In Nature is a portrait of Peter Scott collected from his own conversations, articles and broadcasts including thoughts on expeditions to Lapland, Conservation and Africa, his travels in Europe and much more.This is a beautiful and timely rediscovered book.

With our contemporary understanding of climate change and conservation Sir Peter Scott's thoughts on our natural world are essential reading for anyone interested in preserving our planet.
