Andrew Baker shares his experience of sports journatism.To be a successful sports journalist, you need

the same curiosity, perseverance and literacy asany other journalist, but also specialist knowledgeif you wish to cover one sport in particular;diplomacy and humility if you need to cover manysports (you will need to ask a lot of questions).Also, the ability to write sensibly under extremepressure is essential if you aspire to cover majorevents live.

It isn't necessary to hold a journalismdegree, but a degree of some kind is beneficial,because you will have experience ofmarshalling your thoughts under pressure. Inan ideal world, all journalists would have anessay-based degree and a postgraduate coursein journalism, especially important for knowingthe nuts and bolts of sub-editing and how toavoid legal howlers.

Perhaps the best part of being a sportsjournalist is travelling to interesting places andmeeting interesting people. Often, these are notthe PR-protected megastars, but the passionateindividuals who can tell you what is so specialabout their sport and, if you are lucky, give yousome first-hand experlience. In my case, l,vemessed, about on Ellen MacArthui,s:boat at 3amin a Brazilian harbour, had a special drivinglesson from an'FJ star and done a lot more funstuff that'had better not.be recorded. ' r,

From 30,000 ft. in the air, the Greenland ice cap seemsimpregnable, nearly 800 trillion gallons of frozen waterlocked safely away. But get closer and the cracks beginto emerge. Dancing by helicopter above the mouth of thelakobshavn Glacieq near the western coast of Greenland,you can make out veins of the purest blue melt waterrunning between folds of ice.

Those icebergs are spat out into Disko Bay, 20 billionmetric tons' worth every yea[ where they loom abovethe tiny fishing boats that ply these deep, cold waters.Sail close and you'll find that these seemingly permanentcathedrals of ice, some 200 ft. to 300 ft. high, are leakingwater like broken pipes. They're fighting a war and theyappear to be losing.

Dahl-iensen at the NEEM camp in Greenland. NEEMstands for North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling (theacronym is Danish, as are the leaders of the project), andthe scientists are digging deep into the Greenland ice -more than a mile and a half deep to be precise - to tryto understand its pedigree.

It's like tree rings but for climatic history, "In order topredict the future, we have to understand the past," saysMinik Rosing, a geologist at the University ofCopenhagen. NEEM is focused on the Eemian stage, aperiod from about 115,000 to 130,000 years ago, rightbefore the last ice age, when the world was warm - quitewarm, about 9'F hotter in Europe than it is today.

Dahl-lensen believes that with enough information,they will be able to project forward and understand justhow vulnerable Greenland is to future melting. "With 10years of intense research, I think we can reach a reliableestimate for that tipping point," she says.

If all the ice on Greenland were to melt tomorrow,global sea levels would rise more than 20 ft. - enough toswamp many coastal cities. Though no one thinks thatwill happen anytime soon, what keeps glaciologistsawake at night is that thinking is not the same asknowing - and no one can say with ceftaihty whatGreenland's fate will be.

I got a firsthand look at such heroism this summerwhen I joined a team of international researchers led by

I watch as a plume of mist fills the air where theiceberg once was, while the fiord churns on' And then Iwonder, just how much time do Greenland and the restof us have before it's too late? That may be up to us -and the heroes we choose to follow.

:''rr':' G'bbo was inspired,rto write Jle Decline and Falt oft(4&oman'tmpire'iittingr on the *ip!lof'the capitol atRometone evenilg'listening to *1ei,i 96und:of monkchantihg. My o*n inspiration to Ueiijrc..i historicalbiographer eame in rather less elevated ci$&sances, as, t""*g.t one rainy Oxford afternoon: I began to readI Lytton,strachel"s EminentVictorians; and was'in, par:ticularfascinated by hiiiessalr on Cardinal }{anning.This was goingto be the life for me! Once back at sihool I plunged intofurther research in'the libraryA very differentiPtc&reemerged. Gradually ar I pursued the topic,l became awareof Strachey's daring sallies into "artis.tic truth" (as opposedto historical truth). Nevertheless I nevel forgot my o1g]nalsense of being transported into a world more vivid thanrny own.

An ability to convey this sensation is, I believe, at theheart of the matter. lf you, the biographer' don't thrill toyour subject, you can hardly in all fairness expect thereader to do so. ln a sense (not of course the commercialsense) the choice of sublect is irrelevant so long as it

2l meets that requirement.You could say that I was extremelyluc$ to choose Mary Queen of Scots for my first foraysince there proved to be a world-wide public for thetroubles of the ill{ated Queen. But you could argue equallythat I made my own luck, since I had always been obsessedby Mary's story from childhood. Nor was success fore-ordained. lt was, after all, the leading publisher MarkBonham-Carter of (then) Collins who said to me when Iconfessed my project, "They say that all books on MaryQueen of Scots sell and no books on South America do",before adding with a laugh, "Perhaps yours will be theexception."

Nevertheless I did have luck. ln the 60s, so-callednarrative biography was said to be out of fashion' MaryQueen of Scots was an early beneficiary from the fact thatthe public continued to have an appetite for it, so long asthe research was felt to be solid.

The actual research for a biography - now that's awhole other matter.The paramount need for it - historicaltruth not Stracheyesque truth must be established -means that biographers discover for themselves the reality

- it's a historical'coincidence that

ohe set has become known early on,thg other,not. Oneir'''needs to evaluate tftem even more closely. Here I speakfrom personal experience.A series of chances led me todiscovering some hitherto unpublished letters,,' of OliverCromwell just as I was finishing my manuscripc I blazonedmy finds across the text only to realise at the proof stage,that they might be unpublished but they were not veryimportant in the grand scheme of things ... an expensivemistake.

Where the perils and pleasures of writing historicalbiography are concerned, there are two perils which seemto me to raise points of principle.The first is the peril ofanachronistic iudgements. For example, in the l6th century linemore or less everybody took astrolory seriously and moreor less everybody enjoyed a jolly afternoon out to see thebears baited. lt's no good dismissing the former asmeaningless and cringing from the latter as disgusting.

I would further cite the peril of hindsight.We may knowthat HenryVlll will marry six times, but he didn't, and hewould have been amazed if it had been predicted at thetime of his first marriage to Catherine of Aragon.

And the pleasuresl Manifold! Principal among themhowever is the opportunityto lead a life less ordinary.As a biographer, I can ruleover kingdoms, lead thecavalry into battle, patronisethe great artists of the pastand all without leaving mychair.

I multiple descriptionsof the same thingI

roose fromMalcolm Tait, editor of Coing, Going, Cone?, an illustratedcompilation of 100 animals and plants in danger of extinction,reviews his favourite wildlife books.

A: Nature Cure by Ricllard Mabeylf the best wildlife writing reveals as much about the writer as thewildlife itself, then this is the best of them all. Mabey is brutallytrank and honest about his own life, his depression, and his fearthat nature may no longer hold the answers for him. The more hetries to engage with it, the more disconnected from the world hefeels. But the book charts his path out of despair, as he finds arvay to let nature back in and fire up the wild bits of hisimagination. lt's a fascinating book, written in Mabey,s richlyevocative language, and it's painful too: probably the bestunderstanding of 'biophilia', mankind's innate relationship withnature, out there.

B: The iungle Book by Rudyard Kiplinghlpling, I think, was where much of it began for me. I adored hisanimal tales as a lad, such as the idiosyncratic, rocking-chair-by-*re.fireside fables of the Just So Stories and the heroic and:uspense-filled Rikki-tikki-tavi. But it was The Jungle Book that:'eally gripped me, a rite of passage yarn in which the vicissitudesof life were represented by the forces of nature. Of course, Ididn't understand all this at the time

-

ljust loved reading aboutBaloo, Bagheera and all and singing along to the songs of theDisney version

-

but I now realise that I grew up with Mowgli,anrd that l've been going back to the jungle ever since.

C How to be a Bad Birdwatcher by Simon Barnes]ou know the feeling: you're reading a boo( and as you turn everypage you're nodding in agreemen! as if the writer has popped intoror-rr head and committed your own thoughts to paper. This is one':r fiose books. It's about being a normal birdwatcher, reasonablyrrorvledgeable, constantly passionate, but often a bit confused as toiuhd r.ou've seen or heard, and with the vague feeling that everyoneelse rotr're with knows so much more. It's the book for those of usmrro ind birdwatching pleasurable, not competitive, and it's terribly'iunn'to boot. Ialways smile, now, when I see a sparrowhawk. I urgern,on: to read this book to find out why.

IL Field Cuide to the Dragonflies and Damselflies of GreatBritain and Northern lreland by Steve Brooks and Richardlewington

roir.: can't have a list of wildlife books without including a guide:mk. l've gone for this excellent little number, partly because it,s:earh, written and well laid out, partly because it's superbly[J[r:;strated, but mainly because a whole new world has opened up:on rne since buying it. lf you've never looked closely at natureseiore, this book will set you in the right direction, and I{:;arantee that as you get to know these fascinating creatures,, u'll have new marvels to understand and enjoy every time you:arie a summer walk.

*ffifld S*ds

E: The Future of tife by EO WilsonHere's a fascinating book which is a great example ofconservation-based writing. The ecological debate will alwaysrage on

- should mankind continue to experiment with new

sciences and discoveries, or are we destroying our world andourselves in the process

- and Wilson gets to the heart of the

arguments superbly, driven by a constant love of the animals withwhich we share the planet. Agree with him or not, he's astimulating writer and this is a stimulating book.

F: The World's Vanishing Animals by Cyril l-iftlewood and DWOvenden

An unashamedly nostalgic. choice. Published in two volumes(mammals and birds) in 1969, this was my introduction to theidea that extinction wasn't just for dinosaurs and dodos. I used topore over Denys Ovenden's illustrations of familiar polar bearsand black rhinos, dnd less familiar takahes and nyalas, andwonder whether I could do any.thing to help. Published by theWildlife Youth Service, part of Peter Scott's WWF, it was a call toaction for young folk. Trouble is, we haven't fully listened to it.The book's dustjacket records that about 1,000 animal specieswere faced with extinction at time of publication: today, theWorld Conservation Union's Red List of animals about which tobe concerned contains over '16,000 entries.

G: The Peregrine byfA BakerThe last in my list is, perhaps oddly, a book I haven't yet read. l,veincluded it because l've only recently heard about it, I can't waitto read it, and I don't see why I can't find something new in thislist, as well as you. By all accounts, the book is a reminder of thewildness of England (it was published in'1967), and a tour deforce of language as Baker explains over and over again, yetgrippingly and compellingly, the daily hunts of a local falcon.Sounds superb.
