Jane Alexander, some of you may know, is an actress. She has also become quite the dedicated conservationist. However, what sticks out from these pages more than anything is her love of birds. There are far more species of birds discussed - almost a dizzying amount - than any other form of wildlife. Basically, it's almost a travelogue - stories of the places she has visited, the people she traveled with, and the birds she spotted. There are a few other creatures mentioned, but a very few. This would have been better described as a bird book instead of a wildlife book.
Having said that - the book is fairly well-written and the stories are interesting. It's not a *bad* book by any means. It just seems misrepresented to a degree that might confuse readers looking for one thing and ending up with something totally different.
