'Slaght makes the people, wildlife and landscape of the Russian Far East come alive. Preserving its habitats will secure the forest for future generations, both animal and human - but can this battle be won? Exhilarating and clear-sighted, Owls of the Eastern Ice is an impassioned reflection on our relationship with the natural world and on what it means to devote one's career to a single pursuit. And he has observed how Russia's logging interests and evolving fortunes present new threats to the owl's survival. He has spent time with the Russians who struggle on in the harsh conditions of the taiga forest. During months-long journeys covering thousands of miles, he has pursued it through its forbidding territory. This is the story of Slaght's quest to safeguard the elusive owl from extinction.
