Michael's 14 other books have been straightforward, serious studies of animals and their behaviour. But Hidden Shallows is very different, there has never been a wildlife book quite like this one. In Hidden Shallows Michael takes a light-hearted, revealing and iconoclastic look at his own work. The back cover says it all: "After three weeks in the rainforest my clothes could probably stand up by themselves, I smelt like a yak's armpit. A drifting raft of unidentifiable miscellaneous debris formed a deeply unattractive blanket across the entire width of the river. A wash in this water would have been completely pointless; I would have come out even dirtier than before, having contracted at least two diseases previously unknown to science. I was bone-tired, hungry, had aches and pains in the few places that were still capable of feeling. I was covered in bites and was almost certain that something was living in my beard - and people have the nerve to tell me how lucky I am to do this for as living." Hidden Shallows
is available by post in the UK for £11.50 or $18.00 in the US. These
prices includes post and packing. Please email mike.leach@lineone.net for further information |
