I'm so biased. I've loved this guy since I was a small kid and watched Animal Planet every day (and when Animal Planet was actually about animals . . . ). He always seemed so genuine and intelligent and funny, it was so easy to be drawn to him! I've watched almost every show he's hosted. I'm only upset it took me this long to get my hands on this book. :)

Everything in here makes me want try to re-achieve my dreams of becoming a wildlife biologist/conservationist. Jeff Corwin's love and passion for life of all kinds comes through so earnestly through his words, it would be so difficult to remain unaffected after reading about all these animals who are endangered, were endangered, or are now extinct because of human actions.

Like he's said, we as humans aren't just observing from a distance, we're part of nature, too.
