About Author Talk Q&A: Jim Crumley: Watching Wildlife
Join us at Callander Library for Book Week Scotland. We will be listening to Jim talk about Watching Wildlife and some of his other books about nature.
With decades of close observation of wild animals and birds, Jim Crumley has found himself up close and personal with many of our most elusive creatures, studying their movements, noting details, and offering intimate insights into their extraordinary lives. In Watching Wildlife – In the Moment, Jim draws us into his magical world, showing how we can learn to watch wildlife well, and what doing so can mean for our ability to care for it, and care for ourselves.
Jim Crumley is a Scottish nature writer. Born and raised in Dundee, Jim has lived much of his adult life in and around Stirling, the Firth of the Tay and its surrounding lands and coasts. He is the author of more than 40 books, mostly on the wildlife and wild landscapes of Scotland, many of them making the case for species reintroductions, or rewilding. His Seasons series, a quartet of books exploring the wildlife and landscapes and how climate change is affecting our environment across the four seasons, is highly acclaimed. The Nature of Autumn was longlisted for the Wainwright Golden Beer Book Prize 2017 and shortlisted for the Richard Jefferies Society and White Horse Bookshop Literary Prize 2017. The Nature of Spring was BBC Radio 4’s Book of the Week. The Nature of Summer, published in 2020, was shortlisted for the 2021 Highland Book Prize.
