520    "For the last thirty years John Lister-Kaye, one of 
       Britain's best-known nature writers, has taken the same 
       circular walk from his home deep in a Scottish glen up to 
       a small hill loch. Each day brings a new observation or an
       unexpected encounter - a fragile spider's web, an osprey 
       struggling to lift a trout from the water or a woodcock 
       exquisitely camouflaged on her nest - and every day, on 
       his return home, he records his thoughts in a journal. 
       Drawing on this lifetime of close observation, John Lister
       -Kaye's new book encourages us to look again at the nature
       around us and to discover its wildness for ourselves. It 
       also forges wonderful connections between the most 
       unlikely subjects, from photosynthesis and the energy 
       cycle to Norse mythology, to weasels and perfume and to 
       the over-population of our planet. At the Water's Edge is 
       a lyrical hymn to the wildlife of Britain, and a powerful 
       warning to respect and protect it."--Publisher's
