'An inspirational book about an inspired man, the father of conservation.' - David Bellamy. 'Vastly enjoyable. This biography, like one of Peter Scott's paintings, captures the essence of his bright and courageous life.' - Sir James Lovelock. Peter Scott, son of the Antarctic explorer Captain Scott, fulfilled many times over his father's dying wish that he should become 'a strenuous man'. A championship-class skater, dinghy-racer and glider pilot as well as an accomplished painter, Scott's abiding passion was for wildlife. He travelled the world, hunting and painting rare birds, then gave up shooting to found the Wildfowl Trust and later co-found the World Wildlife Fund. His campaigns and television programmes awakened the world to the damage being inflicted on the natural environment.
