This book is based on Gerald and Lee Durrell's TV series. It is well organized and well re searched, challenging readers to view humankind from a different perspec tive. Over 200 color photographs en hance a book that YAs will use for re search or downright good reading. Anne Douglass, Houston Public Lib .
