Rory Putman, a professional biologist with extensive experience working in the UK and abroad, takes us on working trips to Iceland, East Africa, Nigeria, and Indonesia, introducing us to the countries and their people, their natural history, and explaining some of the wildlife issues that have prompted him and his colleagues to travel there. The stories cover episodes from more than four decades of working as a jobbing biologist overseas. The understanding required to solve problems and seek solutions to particular issues related to the management and conservation of wildlife means that the observer becomes much more intimately engaged and perhaps gains a different perspective of the country and its culture than might be apparent to a more casual 'outside onlooker. To some extent, that deeper involvement enables Rory Putman to give the reader more of an inside view and introduction to the countries and their wildlife from a wholly personal perspective. Like many other enthusiastic naturalists, the author enjoyed experiencing new habitats and seeing wonderful and exotic species on his travels, and this engaging book will carry the reader along on the journey.
