Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
'Not so much trivia titbits as intellectual petits fours ... a daily dip will be sure to prompt discussion, wonder and compulsive retelling.' BBC Wildlife Magazine 'This delightful little hardback is difficult to resist. For anyone interested in the natural world there are myriad facts and figures that will fascinate and surprise.' -- Alexandra Henton The Field 'A miscellany that keeps you turning the pages.' -- Desmond Morris, author of The Naked Ape 'Allen's book promises a cornucopia of facts ... It delivers just that, providing a bran tub full of informational morsels.' Fortean Times 'The Nature Magpie is seductively readable, a delightful and constantly surprising compendium of facts about nature' -- Bill Adams, author of Against Extinction: The Story of Conservation 'A delightful lucky dip of fascinating facts.' -- Kate Long
