Now more than ever, the scientific and medical community is under the microscope and in front of the media. Science matters, and in a post-truth world it’s more important than ever for scientists and physicians to be heard. But there’s a challenge.

To do this well you need to master the art of influential speaking, which is something you weren’t taught at university or medical school.

What does it mean to be a part of - rather than apart from - nature? This book is about how we interact with wildlife, and the ways in which this can make our lives richer and more fulfilling.

A paean to the "neglected" and untidy places that can enrich our lives, it will appeal to anyone wishing to develop a deeper connection with wildlife or who has a desire to seek out the wilder corners of our landscape.
