A profoundly satisfying read Financial TimesIn Field Notes from the Edge, the acclaimed writer of the Guardian's 'Country Diary', Paul Evans, takes us on a journey through the in-between spaces of Nature such as strandlines, mudflats, cliff tops and caves where one wilderness is on the verge of becoming another and all things are possible. Here, Evans searches out wildlife and plants to reveal a Nature that is inspiring yet intimidating; miraculous yet mundane; part sacred space, part wasteland. It is here that we tread the edge between a fear of Nature s dangers and a love of Nature s beauty.Combining a naturalist s eye for observation with a poet s ear for the lyrical, Field Notes from the Edge confirms Paul Evans's place among our leading nature writers today.
