Book Roundup Wednesday: Animals in Nature
Every Wednesday, we review a selection of new and upcoming books addressing a specific aspect of environmentalism. This week we’re recommending books that take you to the homes of wild animals around the world.
The Lion’s Eye: Seeing in the Wild (by Joanna Greenfield, $19, Little, Brown and Company, 2009): In her twenties, Joanna Greenfield was offered the opportunity to travel to East Africa to follow one of the world’s last-known populations of wild chimpanzees. The Lions Eye is the result of that trip, and the book is a rare and intimate lens into East African wildlife. Greenfield and a team of Ugandan explorers begin as timid observers and ended up as members of the untamed tribe, and documented every detail.
