This delightfully readable memoir illustrates why the best field biology is also adventure, and why the search for adventure is the best way to conduct field biology.
Edward O. Wilson University Research Professor Emeritus at Harvard University ...thoroughly enjoyable book that combines a memoir of his many field trips to exotic locales with a powerful call for the preservation of species and restoration of natural habitats. His delightful writing style is scientifically accurate but completely accessible to readers who are not well versed in the arcane details of evolutionary biology and ecological theory...recommended.
