What an incredibly difficult and admirable undertaking! I was left awestruck by their dedication to their science and the magnificent carnivores of the arid Kalahari. The photographs were a very welcome addition too. A highly recommended read for anyone considering field research in the natural sciences.

Wow - I only just thought of this book today because I just saw someone mention Where the Crawdads Sing and saw her name. I remember really enjoying this book at the time. Not sure what I'd think of it today.

I usually really enjoy this genre of book, but this one did not do it for me. Maybe I would have liked the print book better than audio. I felt like some of the sections about the animals were dry and rambling. Story also seemed disjointed at times.
What they did to complete their research is quite a story, but the overall book just did not do it for me.

Wonderful book. Love elephants.
