Bio
I fell in love with nature when I turned twenty-one camping under Acacias in East Africa, surrounded by giraffe and zebra with my nape hair raised by the distant roaring of lions. I went on to work for fifty years in Africa, Europe and Asia as an ecologist and conservation consultant. A few years ago I moved to the Isle of Lismore to pursue my passion for reconnecting people with the natural world. My first book, <i><b>The Storm Leopard</b></i>, is a journey across Africa and into the heart of the environmental crisis. My second, <i><b>Origin of Species: Bite-Sized</b></i>, contains the essence of Charles Darwin's greatest work – his theory of evolution by natural selection – in a text that is 15% the length of the original. The third, <i><b>Beyond the Hebrides</b></i>, is the story of a sea voyage in an old leaking boat and on how to keep personal freedom alive. I am currently working on a fourth which is about the global collapse of the natural world. Its working title is, <i><b>In This Together</b></i>. It challenges us all over our current connections with nature. More details are on my website, www.martynmurray.com.
