Nature's Conscience: The Life and Legacy of Derek Ratcliffe

Editor: Des Thompson, Hilary Birks, John Birks

Wildlife And People Series Volume 6

Langford Press

2015

"Derek Ratcliffe was arguably the most outstanding field biologist and conservationist of the 20th century. This book explores the breadth, quality and legacy of Derek’s work and has many personal reminiscences. The 30 contributors provide fascinating insights to a remarkable person, and events and issues which have shaped wild nature as we see it today. Beautifully illustrated, this is a deeply inspiring book. It will appeal to a wide readership, curious about what makes someone so special and united by an eagerness to see wildlife flourish."

On The Rocks

Bryan Nelson

Artwork: John Busby

Wildlife And People Series Volume 4

Langford Press

2013

"Seabirds and islands, an addictive mix, have dominated my life. Ailsa Craig and its gannets started the rot more than 60 years ago leading via a tortuous route to the Bass Rock, Christmas Island, Cape Kidnappers and other remote seabird haunts. This journey was eased by a St Andrews University degree in Zoology and Oxford D Phil under Niko Tinbergen and Mike Cullen which helped my appointment as Lecturer, later Reader, in Zoology at Aberdeen University. I have been very lucky thanks to gannets. I should mention, also, the Scottish Seabird Centre with which I have been involved as a Director since its inception." Bryan Nelson
