Mark Cocker is an author and naturalist whose fourteen books include works of biography, history, literary criticism and memoir. Crow Country was shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize in 2008 and won the New Angle Prize for Literature in 2009. A Claxton Diary won the East Anglian Book of the Year Award in 2019, and his most recent book, One Midsummer’s Day, was shortlisted for the Richard Jefferies Award 2023.

One of my favourite nature writers. The Nature of Seeing will transform how you view the world around us. This fascinating book draws on years of Mark Cocker’s own illuminating observations during what he calls a “lifelong loving affair” with nature. Just one encounter with an ant in his bath inspires a meditation on the future of humankind!
