'Captivating' Manchán Magan
'Sublime' Eoghan Daltun
Seán Ronayne always knew he was different. Nicknamed 'nature boy' by the other kids, as a child he struggled to fit in and regularly escaped to the woods and coastlines around his home in Cork. The natural world was his
happy place and where he discovered his true passion - identifying and understanding birds through their sound and song. A passion that would save him in the weeks and months following a near-death experience in his late teens. Even in the darkest times, nature became his guiding light.
As Seán found his path working as an ornithologist, he began to see how, by highlighting the wonder and beauty of the natural world, he could draw attention to the danger it currently faces.
And, at the age of thirty-two, Seán received an autism diagnosis and his life finally started to make sense.
Here, Seán takes us on his journey. From his adventures in the Sahara Desert, the jungles of Nepal and the streets of Thailand, to discovering the night sounds of Catalunya, and his mission to sound record all the regularly occurring bird species in Ireland, Nature Boy is an inspiring story of love, connection and the healing power of nature.
'Seán's sensitivity to the natural world captivates the reader, allowing all of us approach closer and appreciate more the sublime beauty of what surrounds us' Manchán Magan
'A stunning testament to the wonders of nature' Pádraic Fogarty
'Seán is perhaps the greatest and most eloquent champion for Irish nature I have come across. Powerful, impassioned and deeply moving, please read this book, now!' Niall Hatch, BirdWatch Ireland
'With disarming honesty, eloquence and humour, Seán Ronayne recounts how he took possession of a childhood taunt and made it his adult mission' Magnus Robb
'Seán is a man who reveals wonder from within the ordinary' Ken O'Sullivan
'A gorgeously personal, and deeply moving, account of living a life fully immersed in the fantastic wonderland that is nature. Sublime' Eoghan Daltun
'Informative, inspiring and insightful, this book is a heartfelt and enthralling personal journey of a life ensconced in nature' Anja Murray
