This is a very interesting and motivational memoir. In this book, the writer exposes his reader's to the reality that one can only truly be happy if one gets to experience one's passion on a daily basis.

The reader sees a Mathematics genius being able to find a lucrative job in the field of Mathematics but this individual is only truly balanced as he can combine his skills in Mathematics with his true love of creating sustainable habitats for animals.

I especially like the fact that the gradual process from normal boy to teenager and then to successful adult is explained and emphasized in this book.

I think that anyone who is still looking to find his purpose in life will find some inspiration in this book:)

I appreciate Wamsley's diverse interests. However, I'm not sure this book will be able to hold my interest.

Thank you for a well-written, informative review. I had never heard plans described as feral before, so that line really stood out to me.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting biography about two men who grew up in the Australian outback and established the Earth Sanctuaries Limited Company designed to keep native plants and animals safe from extinction. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Australia has a large collection of plants and animals. Due to its great distance from other land, it has an untouched nature. It has unique animal species.

In addition to introducing wooden pines and Australian flora and fauna, the book also had a biography of John.
I have to admit, biography books are not my favorite genre. But I learned good things about Australian wildlife.

At a time when the protection of nature and plant and animal species has become a public duty. Reading this example encourages people to be friends with nature.

Interesting I would say, the wildlife, the life of John and lots more. The trick to keeping animals in a particular area gets my interest the most, might find more if I read the book, so I'll have to add it to my list. Thanks for the review.

A Vanishing Kinds is simply surprising in every way as it talks about the preservation of bushes and an organization that is built to protect native plants and animals.

Nice review. This sounds like such an interesting book. I’m interested on how John became a conservationist. I’m looking forward to learning about the plants and animals of the Australian bush and how they work together in their natural habitat.

Congratulations to the author. A biography about a man who did all he could to protect plants and animals to avoid extinction and he did all he could in the face of corrupt officials and changing government.

A Vanishing Kind by John Wamsley and Stephen L Davey is a biography. I really appreciate the work he invested and believe that it's a holy work and takes human being closer to the God. Congratulations on #BOTD.

This autobiography, containing valuable information on plants and animals, is definitely a wonderful read. I like it that it excludes sexual, violent scenes, and suitable for readers of all religious sensitivities. Congrats on the BOTD!

I like autobiographical books in general. This one, about such a stalwart in the field of conservation, sounds like a fascinating read.
