Critics Review
“I loved this book. A mind-blowing guide to nature’s most enchanting and unexpected characters, every page is full of wit and wonder.” –Ed Yong, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of An Immense World
“It makes me want to run upstairs, pack a bag, and bolt away to some far-flung corner of this astounding planet. Because now I know there are immortal jellyfish out there, and skink mansions and peacock spiders, and I know where and how to see them! So if I can just manage to stop compulsively reading every single page here, I’ll be on my way.” – Mary Roach, bestselling author of Stiff and Packing for Mars
“Almost as jaw-dropping and awe-inspiring as the planet itself – and more portable.” —BJ Novak, bestselling author, actor, and comedian
