EDGE OF SILENCE (HB)

Acclaimed nature writer Neil Ansell has suffered from progressive hearing loss his whole life. This moving book charts Neil's mission to hear rare and elusive creatures that he had not previously encountered. The journey takes him from the mountaintops and islands of the Scottish Highlands to the marshes of England and the hills of Wales. Many of these species are in grave danger of extinction, so the future faced by Neill, devoid of their distinctive calls, is one we all must fight to prevent.
