I loved every one of these. So much passion and curiosity, and a wonderful funny and smart tone.

Pretty sweet job--write a monthly article for Outdoor magazine about any science or nature topic that interests him. All in all, the author does a good job, and his insights into evolution among lizards on the Baja California. :) But he lets his own voice get in the way of the narrative a little too often. I won't read any more of his books, but it was worth reading a few articles.

I got this out of the library and have enjoyed every essay so much that I am adding it to the list of books I actually want to own. I don't even LIKE natural science (or so I though before I read this).
