I enjoyed reading your review. It was inspirating to read of a person that has devoted his life to saving animals and feral plants. The world needs more people like that. Your review highlighted the kind of man John Wamsley is. His strength of character, I'm sure, was needed when dealing with corrupt officials. This book sounds like it would be interesting and educational.

Wow wow wThisow!!
book is a beautiful piece. I could go about this autobiography a million times and would still be intrigued about it.
John wamsley was a man worthy of emulation. Despite everything he went through in his childhood he remained focused. he never allowed his present situation to get the better part of him.He was a goal getter.
He was someone that knew what he wanted and could go to any length to see that his desires were achieved.
A lover of animals,a wood craft man,a mathematician,a fisherman..all this he did with excellence...He was indeed a prodigy,a genius..wow
Sincerely I have never been this inspired in my life...this left me with the knowledge that I can achieve anything I set my mind to only if I want to.
An outstanding book and a wonderful review well detailed.😁
Congrats BOTD!!!🥳

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your review of A Vanishing Kind. Your insights into John Wamsley's dedication to wildlife conservation and the challenges faced by Earth Sanctuaries Limited really highlighted the book's impact. I was particularly struck by your mention of John's ability to balance his love for mathematics with his passion for the bush. It’s inspiring to see how his practical knowledge of the environment helped him in his conservation efforts. I also appreciated your notes on the book's educational content, such as the information about woody pines and fencing techniques. It sounds like the narrative not only delivers a compelling story but also provides valuable insights into wildlife conservation. Thanks for sharing such a detailed review!

The review is expressive of the book in a way that encourages reading it. Preserving wildlife and knowing its value in general is worth reading. Especially with the changes that the Earth is going through. The author's efforts are also appreciated. Congrats on BOTD

Latest Review: Niching Up by Chris Dreyer

Post by Alejandro Pabon »

The first chapter of A Vanishing Kind is a masterful introduction to a narrative that promises to be as captivating as it is unsettling. Wamsley and Davey manage to grab the reader's attention from the very first lines, immersing them in a world where disappearance is not only physical but also spiritual and cultural.

The chapter opens with an atmospheric description that sets the tone for the book: a mix of melancholy and urgency. The authors waste no time in establishing an emotional connection with the reader, introducing characters who, though subtly sketched, convey a palpable sense of loss and despair. This emotional connection becomes the driving force behind the narrative, turning the reading experience into something deeply personal.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the chapter is the authors' ability to weave a plot that, though rich in detail, is presented in a way that is agile and maintains its pace. The descriptions of the setting are vivid, almost cinematic, transporting the reader to a world where every shadow seems to have meaning, and every sound a foreboding.

Character development is another strong point. Although we've only glimpsed their complexities, it's evident that each character has been created with a clear purpose within the plot. Their dialogues, though brief, are loaded with subtext, suggesting an emotional depth that will likely be explored further throughout the book.

In terms of style, Wamsley and Davey demonstrate notable skill in their use of language. The prose is lyrical and precise, combining poetic phrases with moments of stark reality. This duality in style reinforces the central theme of the book: the struggle between the ephemeral and the eternal, between memory and oblivion.

John Wamsley and Stephen L. Davey's biography Vanishing Kind goes into detail about the challenges they faced when founding the Earth Sanctuaries. They put a lot of effort into preventing the extinction of native plants and animals. The book sheds light on the inspiring journey of fortitude, love of animals, and moral judgment. It investigates the moral dilemma of whether it is acceptable to murder one species of animal in order to protect another.It seems like a worthwhile educational resource.

Have you ever seen kangaroos in the wild? "A Vanishing Kind" tells the story of John Wamsley and Stephen L. Davey's efforts to establish the Earth Sanctuaries Limited Company in Australia. John's deep love for the natural environment and his fight against feral plants and animals led to the protection of native species from extinction. I love it.
