“The best nature writer working in Britain today.” – The Los Angeles Times. Eagles, more than any other bird, spark our imaginations. These magnificent creatures encapsulate the majesty and wildness of Scottish nature. But change is afoot for the eagles of Scotland: the golden eagles are now sharing the skies with sea eagles after a successful reintroduction programme. In ‘The Eagle’s Way’, Jim Crumley exploits his years of observing these spectacular birds to paint an intimate portrait of their lives and how they interact with each other and the Scottish landscape. Combining passion, beautifully descriptive prose and the writer’s 25 years of experience, ‘The Eagle’s Way’ explores the ultimate question – what now for the eagles? – making it essential reading for wildlife lovers and eco-enthusiasts.

"The Eagle's Way, is surely one of modern natural history writing's masterpieces." - Jim Perrin, The Great Outdoors. "Crumley is quite exceptional. Jim's writing is absolutely authentic; his arguments vested with the power of heartfelt sincerity; his life devoted to the vital subjects he studies, expresses so finely, and opens up to our wider understanding in the context of a better and more humane planetary future." - Viewpoint. "Jim Crumley soars with eagles and we watch with our mouths open, not just because the presence of the eagle fills us with awe but the virtuoso writing does, too. All Jim Crumley's books come from an intelligence drawn from place." - Paul Evan, BBC Countryfile. "Tinglingly readable - Crumley's distinctive voice carries you with him on his dawn forays and sunset vigils." - John Lister Kaye. "Crumley's books are sublime. 'The Eagle's Way' is a beautiful, funny, argumentative narrative of praise to the eagle." - Roger Hutchinson, West Highland Free Press.
