'Crow Country' was a book that stretched my mind and imagination no end, not least because I grew up along the Yare valley and could picture the places so well. But it was Mark's description of complex details like the murmuration formations that transfixed me. <br /><br />When I heard about this latest volume, I was particularly excited because it was embracing a variety of disciplines in its approach. When it comes to residencies etc., I am often tempted to wonder whether artists get more out of science-based operations or opportunities than scientists do from artistic ventures, in terms of what is on offer (though I have little difficulty in imagining the value of artistic works made on polar expeditions). It seems to me that this book will weave artistic and scientific strands together in a rare blend of symbiotic harmony. I look forward to hearing more from you on this subject.
