Earth's Northern hemisphere tilts toward the sun, winter yields to intensifying light and warmth, and a wild, elemental beauty transforms the Highland landscape and a repertoire of islands from Colonsay to Lindisfarne.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJim Crumley chronicles the wonder, tumult, and spectacle of that transformation, but he shows too that it is no Wordsworthian idyll that unfolds. Climate chaos brings unwanted drama to the lives of badger and fox, seal and seabird and raptor, pine marten and sand martin. Crumley lays bare the impact of global warming and urges us all towards a more daring conservation vision that embraces everything from the mountain treeline to a second spring for the wolf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Crumley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1912235374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912235377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Saraband\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/27\/2022","brand":"Jim Crumley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44074120249599,"sku":"9781912235377","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a005b280-6c1d-4f95-9095-13f2824b01b4.jpg?v=1685451901","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-nature-of-spring-jim-crumley-9781912235377","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
