From witnessing grizzly bears on Alaska's Kodiak Island to migrating Icelandic whooper swans, or the rare sight of capercaillie in the Cairngorm Mountains, his eyes and ears record the smallest of details. He hears flutes in the wind through an aspen grove and the deep tones of the piobaireachd--highland pipes--in a Scots pinewood as naturally as the flight of swans in Finland evokes Sibelius. And silence, too, plays its part. For him, our future depends on recovering the long-forgotten skill of truly listening to the land--of recognizing ourselves as part of life's great orchestration rather than standing outside it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBoth a celebration of our planet's great beauty and a call to defend it, \u003ci\u003eSymphonic\u003c\/i\u003e distills a lifetime of knowledge, care, and commitment from one of the most authoritative champions of the living world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJim Crumley\u003c\/b\u003e has written more than forty books, mostly on the wildlife and wild landscape of his native Scotland, the impact of human activity on the natural world, species reintroduction, and climate change.
