The Flight of the Iguana Summary

The Flight of the Iguana: A Sidelong View of Science and Nature by David Quammen

From the award-winning author of The Song of the Dodo comes a collection of essays in which various weird and wonderful aspects of nature are examined.

A distinguished natural science essayist, Quammen's reporting is masterful and thought provoking and his curiosity and fascination with the world of living things is infectious.
