Wamsley‘s wildlife conservation work is commendable. I’m glad he agreed to have his story told. Thank you for your review!

I feel like stories of people like John are the need of the hour. We have forgot that the earth doesn't just belong to us but to all these unique and beautiful plants and animals that inhibit it alongwith us.

A passion for mathematics and wildlife conservation seem an unlikely but intriguing mix. How will they complement to achieve the goal? Thanks for the insights.

It’s interesting to have a memoir that provides an account of the wildlife conservation efforts in Australia. Reading about John Wamsley’s admirable character gives me the impression that this will be inspirational as well.

This book sounds very interesting. Conservation is a difficult endeavor and I’m sure the life of this man was very inspirational. Australia is especially interesting to me and I’m definitely going to read this one.

Congratulations to the author for BOTD! I am amazed by how the four global ratings on Amazon awarded this book five out of five stars. Thank you to this official OBC reviewer who reviewed this memoir diligently.

I've never been into biographies; so it was really hard for me to get into. It's interesting that the author was the one who came up with the idea to write one about someone else. I always thought that the person the biography was about, was supposed to be the one who wanted a biography written by them or for them. So, that was interested to find out. The only thing I think would keep me intrigued, just based on the sample, is that it's based on a guy from Australia. I have always dreamed about going there, so if by reading this whole book I can be transported there, it would be worth it. I may even learn a thing or two.

Books about nature tend to take a backseat when compared to intense dramatic narratives and fiction stories. The simplicity of this story really tugs at the humanness within all of us. The outdoor has a calming effect and making a contribution to the future of life on this planet is extremely meaningful. This book sounds like a very interesting read. Thanks for a great review!

This sounds as an interesting autobiographical proposal because it is from a topic I am not very usually related to. Nature and sciences are really together, but sometimes we do not realize that. I think this is a nice book if you want to learn more about those topics. Thanks for your review.
