The Stubborn Light of Things - Melissa Harrison

A SUNDAY TIMES NATURE BOOK OF THE YEAR*UPDATED EDITION FEATURING EXTRA MATERIAL*A nature diary by award-winning novelist, nature writer and hit podcaster Melissa Harrison, following her journey from urban south London to the rural Suffolk countryside. A writer of great gifts. ROBERT MACFARLANE The journal of a writer to compare to Thomas Hardy. Melissa Harrison is among our most celebrated nature writers. JOHN CAREY, THE TIMESA Londoner for over twenty years, moving from flat to Tube to air-conditioned office, Melissa Harrison knew what it was to be insulated from the seasons. Adopting a dog and going on daily walks helped reconnect her with the cycle of the year and the quiet richness of nature all around her: swifts nesting in a nearby church; ivy-leaved toadflax growing out of brick walls; the first blackbird s song; an exhilarating glimpse of a hobby over Tooting Common.Moving from scrappy city verges to ancient, rural Suffolk, where Harrison eventually relocates, this diary - compiled from her beloved Nature Notebook column in The Times - maps her joyful engagement with the natural world and demonstrates how we must first learn to see, and then act to preserve, the beauty we have on our doorsteps - no matter where we live.A perceptive and powerful call-to-arms written in mesmerising prose, The Stubborn Light of Things confirms Harrison as a central voice in British nature writing.

Owls of the Eastern Ice - Jonathan C. Slaght

The Times Nature Book of the Year 2020Winner of the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award A Finalist for the Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year Award Remarkable. If only every endangered species had a guardian angel as impassioned, courageous and pragmatic as Jonathan Slaght Isabella Tree, author of Wilding Gripping Dave Goulson, author of A Sting in the TalePrimorye, a remote forested region near to where Russia, China and North Korea meet in a tangle of barbed wire, is the only place where brown bears, tigers and leopards co-exist. It is also home to one of nature s rarest birds, the Blakiston s fish owl. A chance encounter with this huge, strange bird was to change wildlife researcher Jonathan C. Slaght s life beyond measure.This is the story of Slaght s quest to safeguard the elusive owl from extinction. During months-long journeys covering thousands of miles, he has pursued it through its forbidding territory. He has spent time with the Russians who struggle on in the harsh conditions of the taiga forest. And he has observed how Russia s logging interests and evolving fortunes present new threats to the owl s survival. Preserving its habitats will secure the forest for future generations, both animal and human - but can this battle be won? Exhilarating and clear-sighted, Owls of the Eastern Ice is an impassioned reflection on our relationship with the natural world and on what it means to devote one s career to a single pursuit. Slaght makes the people, wildlife and landscape of the Russian Far East come alive. I haven t enjoyed a book on remote Russia as much as this since Ian Frazier s Travels in Siberia Sophy Roberts, author of The Lost Pianos of Siberia True epic.

The Russia Conundrum - Martin Sixsmith, Mikhail Khodorkovsky

I m a fairly calm fellow; I don t usually get het up about things. But I was, let s say, concerned when I tuned into the Moscow Echo radio station and heard that the Kremlin had put a price on my head. The announcement didn t quite say dead or alive . But it came close... Mikhail Khodorkovsky, March 2021 Mikhail Khodorkovsky has seen behind the mask of Vladimir Putin. Once an oil tycoon and the richest man in Russia, Khodorkovsky spoke out against the corruption of Putin s regime - and was punished by the Kremlin, stripped of his entire wealth and jailed for over ten years. Now freed, working as a pro-democracy campaigner in enforced exile, Khodorkovsky brings us the insider s battle to save his country s soul. Offering an urgent analysis of what has gone wrong with Putin, The Russia Conundrum maps the country s rise and fall against Khodorkovsky s own journey, from Soviet youth to international oil executive, powerful insider to political dissident, and now a high-profile voice seeking to reconcile East and West. With unparalleled insight, written with Sunday Times bestselling author Martin Sixsmith, The Russia Conundrum exposes the desires and damning truths of Putin s Russia, and provides an answer to the West on how it must challenge the Kremlin - in order to pave the way for a better future.
