Cool Creatures, Hot Planet
From the title of the book I had expected this to be about some of the strange and wonderful creatures around the world. Although it does have some information on various creatures the author has encountered and even has a section of photographs of assorted creatures it is much more of a travelogue than anything else. Having said that, it is an excellent travelogue and written in a style that remains interesting throughout the book. The places where the author traveled in this text are Belize, the Amazon, Australia, Canada, Antarctica, Borneo, Europe, and Zimbabwe. Filled with fascinating facts it is a trip with the author where you feel you are there and part of the group. An interesting read Cool Creatures, Hot Planet is a recommended read for anyone interested in traveling the world through a book.
