This time for "science," not for the ever numbing joy of hunting. He never explains this allegedly primal urge to stalk and murder and the hideousness of an animal dying in a trap which his friends enjoy. Well, it always gives him something exciting to write about, like the totally hopeless whale story. THE STONE HORSE begs for the aerial map...a splendid tale. GEESE needs the original photographs...opening our eyes to a new world. The book reads like an unconnected novel, keeping readers alert for the next adventure, which many of us wish included ENLIGHTENMENT about the horrors of trapping, if not of hunting (  ) m.belljackson | Nov 17, 2016 | )1  Cheryl_in_CC_NV | Jun 6, 2016 | It makes for lovely reading. This was a book that I carried around the house with me on the off chance I could grab a second here or there to read it. The man's gift for words is obvious, and his passion and advocacy for wildlife and wild environs is admirable. He makes a great philosophical case for preserving tracts of wild space for their sakes alone, and that it is only once they are lost that we as humans will feel what their loss really means.
