Welcome the Ecofictology podcast, where science meets story and we embrace the nerdiness in our fiction! This podcast is all about using fiction as a science communication tool, with a particular focus on ecofiction (fiction where the environment and our relationship with it plays a major role in the plot). I’ll be talking about what I’m reading and writing and speaking to others are doing it too! Come nerd out with your fiction with me!

Ep 41: Book Review of Sky Dance: Fighting for the wild in the scottish highlands by John D Burns

Hey ecofictologists and welcome to episode 41 of the Ecofictology podcast! This Minisode Monday I am beyond excited to review SkyDance: Fighting for the Wild in the Scottish Highlands by John D Burns. This is a hilarious book that still conveys important messages about land management in Scotland, human wildlife conflicts surrounding the grouse hunting industry, and the push to rewild the highlands, starting with the reintroduction of the lynx. 

Since I live in Scotland and spend time in the Highlands, I was immediately drawn to this book and was not disappointed! Loved it, highly recommend! I’m bringing you this short episode now so that on Wednesday when i invite John onto the show for an interview, you all have the context and know what I thought of the book. We have a wonderful chat, he’s a very funny man, so check back in for that on Wednesday. A small EDIT: in the video I say the subtitle of the book is "The fight for the wild in the Scottish Highlands" but it is actually "FIGHTING for the wild...". Apologies! 

This is an archived episode from my youtube channel so if you prefer the visual medium, you can find the link in the shownotes. I hope you enjoy
