Summary:
In this new memoir, [nature historian Dale] Peterson describes his travels through Africa with Swiss wildlife photographer Karl Ammann. Dedicated to stopping the slaughter of endangered bushmeat, Ammann is in turns brilliant, provocative, and irritating, almost as wild as the animals her seeks to save.
