A Life In Nature is a portrait of Sie Peter Scott collected from his own conversations, articles and broadcasts including thoughts on Conservation, expeditions to Lapland and Africa, his travels in Europe and much more. Illustrated by Peter's own beautiful illustrations.
'The Patron Saint of Conservation' Sir David Attenborough

'Peter Scott was a huge influence on my childhood...Later on in life I had the good fortune both to meet and to interview him, and he remains, for me, a hero. His knowledge, his kindness to me and his generosity of spirit have remained an influence in my own sphere of natural history....To meet one's heroes can sometimes be a let-down. That was most certainly not the case with Peter Scott.' Alan Titchmarsh
