Following on the success of his book "Natural Selections", the well-known travel writer has drawn once again on his passion for Africa and his experience as a journalist for "Getaway" magazine to write yet another entertaining and engrossing book of short essays on natural history, full of humour, interest and speculation. Each of his essays reveals something of nature's many quirks and offers startlingly large questions from little things that ordinary folk pass over with hardly glance. The pieces are short and easily digestible, with a bit of philosophy and an interest in the human story. A true bedside book for the curious and the nature lover.
