From wild snow wolf packs in Ellesmere and polar bears in Svalbard to leopards in Mumbai and equine therapy in Mongolia, Gordon Buchanan has filmed in the world's most far-reaching places for over 30 years. His dedication to his craft means he often spends weeks inside a cramped camera hide, tolerating extreme sleep deprivation and poor living conditions, all in search of that one extraordinary shot.
But dangerous animals were not the only thing he was hiding from.
_In the Hide_ is Gordon's emotionally honest and raw account of a challenging childhood in Dumbarton and on Mull, and the escape and solace he found - and continues to find - in the natural world around him. An intimate and inspiring account of resilience in the face of hardship, _In the Hide_ marks the arrival of a bold new voice in nature writing.
GORDON BUCHANAN is an award-winning presenter and wildlife cameraman, his credits including the _Planet Earth_ and _Frozen Planet_ series and, as presenter, the popular _Family & Me_ series of documentaries. He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2020 for services to conservation and wildlife filmmaking. Gordon lives in Glasgow with his wife and family. _In the Hide_ is his first book.
