From Jim Crumley, the ""pre-eminent Scottish nature-writer"" (Guardian), this landmark volume documents the extraordinary natural life of the Scottish Highlands and bears witness to the toll climate chaos is taking on its wildlife, habitats, and biodiversity-laying bare what is at stake for future generations.

In this landmark volume, Jim Crumley brings together a sweeping five-year quest to document the seasons and how he has seen them change. It explores the damage to the Earth's natural rhythms, but also relishes the enduring beauty and wonder of nature itself.

Drawing on his studies of each season over more than thirty years and reworking the volumes in his best-selling Seasons quartet, Crumley has created this unique account of our natural world today.

After a lifetime of immersing himself in the landscapes of Scotland and a handful of other northern countries, Crumley has amassed a body of knowledge and insight and a bank of memorable imagery.

Combining lyrical prose and passionate eloquence, he lays bare the impact of an increasingly chaotic climate and urges us all towards a more daring conservation vision that embraces everything from the mountain treeline to a second spring for the wolf.

Reviews for Seasons of Storm and Wonder

'It is difficult to do justice to a book of such knowledge and emotional heft as Jim Crumley's latest and profoundly meditative work ... 'We are nature itself' - that is the essential truth and the core message of this beautiful book.' -- Loretta Mulholland * 10/10 review, Dundee Courier *
