Based in the heart of Scotland's Cairngorms National Park, Peter Cairns is a freelance nature photographer with a deep fascination for our relationship with the natural world. In addition to documenting Europe's high-profile wildlife species, his work focuses on a diverse range of issues such as wildlife management, ecological restoration, eco-tourism and evolving land-use regimes. In Tooth & Claw, the realisation that wildlife politics is not about wildlife but about us, comes to the fore. With Mark Hamblin he is the author of Wild Land, Images of Nature from the Cairngorms. Against a backdrop of stunning imagery, Tooth & Claw reveals how we really feel about Britain's predators and, intriguingly, why.

"This is a timely publication on the subject of Britain's magnificent wild predators and the quest to re-introduce species we have lost ... Striking photographs of high quality appear on almost every page ... this is a book to appeal to all ... a book that i believe could play a defining role in changing perceptions of predators - i do hope it will.
