'Wildlands' is a highly readable account of Frankham's travels, distilled down to his experiences in a dozen ecologically significant locations and their inhabitants, including a close encounter with the lions of the Okavango, getting arrested aboard a Tanzanian warship and journeying through the world's driest desert to find the ancient Himba people.
From the tiny Mantis shrimp with pincers that punch to the mighty Komodo dragon, 'Wildlands' is teeming with stories about people and places that will involve readers from the very first page.
