Summary
Michael McCarthy, one of Britain's leading writers on the environment, proposes this joy as a defence of a natural world which is ever more threatened and which, he argues, is inadequately served by the two defences put forward hitherto: sustainable development and the recognition of ecosystem services.
Drawing on a wealth of memorable experiences from a lifetime of watching and thinking about wildlife and natural landscapes, McCarthy presents a new way of looking at the world.

A gem
I loved everything about this book. It was about nature and science but had a real heart to it too. It is a rare blend of being personal, without being overly self-referential. What will remain with me is how well he conveyed the magic and joy that comes from observing nature. It's cliched but it's genuinely made me stop and look about a bit more.

A snowstorm I actually enjoyed.
Where does The Moth Snowstorm rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Near the top.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved hearing about the birds and the author's views of them.
What about Gordon Griffin’s performance did you like?
I liked how he read the book overall.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I don't think it's the type of book that would make a good film. Not enough story or drama.
Any additional comments?
I found this book interesting and easy to follow, even though there were 2 strands, the author's upbringing and continuing relations with family and his views on nature as a whole.

Passionate and pragmatic
McCarthy introduces a powerful idea, the concept of defence through joy, because we only protect that which we love, and he believes that humans are unique in their capacity to love their planet.
