5.0 out of 5 stars
A marvelously-written, senssive book about a fascinatng man.,
By A Customer
This review is from: African Obsession: The Life and Legacy of Carl Akeley (Paperback)
Carl Akeley was a true pioneer in so many fields that it must have been difficult for Bodry-Sanders to decide which to emphasize. She has managed to combine the stories of his youth, his innovative taxidermy, his adventures in Africa, and his concern for the wild animals he loved, into an immensely readable book, that engages the reader from start to finish. Even though the author has been more than thorough in her research (she actually travelled to Africa to experience what Akeley did), she makes you want to know more. This is a fine book, by a fine writer.
