About this title

Review:

"Many naturalists were inspired by stories of someone in the field, and it is probable that Brian Keating will do that for young animal lovers. It's clear he's used to holding school children rapt with tales of his remarkable life."
-- "Toronto Star"

"From the word 'amazing' in its title, to the intriguing list of chapter headings (eg. Petrel Puke and Headless Kittiwakes) and on through up-close and personal experiences with nature, this book delivers on its promise. Naturalist Brian Keating recounts "the scariest day of my life" as he's almost eaten by lions in Zimbabwe, the malodorous discovery of a captured petrel's defense mechanism, the serenity of an Arctic night with only wolves for company. His engaging writing style places readers squarely in the midst of the action and creates an irresistible sense of wonder. . . There is no down-side to this book.
"Highly Recommended"

"Each adventure is highly entertaining, upbeat, descriptive, and includes wonderful photographs. This fascinating book was shortlisted for the 2005 Silver Birch Awards."
