__ SHORTLISTED FOR WATERSTONES AND FOYLES BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS __
The world is more astonishing, more miraculous and more wonderful than our wildest imaginings. In this passionately persuasive and sharply funny book, Katherine Rundell tells us how and why.
A lavishly illustrated collection of the lives of some of the Earth's most astounding animals, The Golden Mole is a chance to be awestruck and lovestruck - to reckon with the beauty of the world, its fragility, and its strangeness.
A swift flies two million kilometres in its lifetime. That's far enough to get to the moon and back twice over - and then once more to the moon. A pangolin keeps its tongu e furled in a pouch by its hip. A Greenland shark can live five hundred years. A wombat once inspired a love poem.
Rezension:
From bears to bats to hermit crabs, a witty, intoxicating paean to Earth's wondrous creatures . . . shot through with Rundell's characteristic wit and swagger. Guardian
