It’s not unheard of for Mark Avery and I to have found ourselves unexpectedly – as they say in the ad biz – “in sync” when it comes to a book we choose to write about on a particular day.

So it seems that it is this present Sunday in the selection by both of us of James Aldred’s recently published Goshawk Summer; A New Forest Season Unlike Any Other. Mark’s review of the book focuses on the astonishing opportunity Mr. Aldred’s book offers, “this book opens the world of Goshawks to me in a way that I enjoyed and will never have the opportunity to experience myself” he writes.

I encourage you to take the opportunity to discover what else Mark had to say about Goshawk Summer by reading his complete review.

Links to Dr. Mark Avery’s Sunday book reviews appear in The Well-read Naturalist by special arrangement. You can find all of Mark’s past reviews as well as a wide-ranging collection of his other writings on his Standing Up for Nature website. Mark’s opinions regarding the books he reviews are his own.
