The Back Road to Crazy Stories from the Field by Jennifer Bove'
Strap on your snake chaps and slap on some sunscreen as biologist Jennifer Bove' takes you to the field in the company of biologists on the frontlines of wildlife studies, botany, and resource management. This exuberant and entertaining collection of stories features deadly snakebites, a plague of marmots, special delivery skunk oil, eagle wrangling, and a rampaging mountain goat in the galley of a research vessel. Ranging from Myanmar to the Midwest, from Argentina to Alaska and many points in between, The Back Road to Crazy offers tales that are by turns thoughtful, funny, tragic, and just-plain-crazy.
