Description
Based in the heart of Scotland's Cairngorms National Park, Peter Cairns is a freelance nature photographer with a deep fascination for our relationship with the natural world. In addition to documenting Europe's high-profile wildlife species, his work focuses on a diverse range of issues such as wildlife management, ecological restoration, eco-tourism and evolving land-use regimes. In "Tooth & Claw", the realisation that wildlife politics is not about wildlife but about us, comes to the fore. With Mark Hamblin he is the author of "Wild Land, Images of Nature from the Cairngorms".
Reviews / Votes
'This lavish book... embellished by thought-provoking interviews, examples and anecdotes. ...The prose is accompanied by the standard of image you would expect from two of the country's most natural wildlife photographers. ... the authors deserve immense praise for bringing numerous parties together and informing the debate'. -Scottish Wildlife 'This is a timely publication on the subject of Britain's magnificent wild predators and the quest to re-introduce species we have lost ...Striking photographs of high quality appear on almost every page ... this is a book to appeal to all ... a book that i believe could play a defining role in changing perceptions of predators - i do hope it will. It will also look very attractive on your coffee table!' - John Muir Trust Journal '... The photographs throughout the book are outstanding, ... ...I found this book to be a throughly interesting and engaging read that has challenged my own philosophy of wildlife management and my own relationship with predators.' - IBISMore details
