The book "A Vanishing Kind" by John Wamsley and Stephen L Davey starts by explaining the family and everything they got from their father. John loves wildlife and always gets to carry them around with him without considering the deadliness of animals such as snakes. John has a brilliant mind and loves science and nature; he once shot a bullock because he distorted what he saw as the natural order. He has a grandmother who thought children could not harm anything. John is a fascinating personality who enjoys the wild and enjoys solving mathematics.

His work as a male nurse at the Morriset Mental Asylum arose from his adventurous nature. He usually visits Lake Macquarie, where the asylum is located, and on one of those visits, he goes in and asks for a job; he is employed to work one week in and one week off and has many inspiring lessons in the workplace. John started to chase his career in mathematics and entered as a second-year student.  He soon became the spotlight in his studies and is seen as a rising star in his career. Will his career serve as an inspiration to others, or will it turn out sore? Get a copy and find out.

I love the book as it explains John's life vividly from his early years. The author also made the book relatable to the reader. The writing style is another factor that should be praised; the choice of words and the narrations were simplified. The book discusses education and nature, but the author uses simpler words for easy understanding. The editing is exquisite. The book title is the positive aspect of the book.

There are a few negative aspects in the book, such as the early life of John, where he usually carried snakes around. This is a harmful practice that should not be encouraged. Nevertheless, I do not dislike the book as it fascinates me. I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. My rating was influenced by the author's sincerity and the narration's presentation. I recommend the book to individuals with an interest in mathematics.
