From the curious minds of Atlas Obscura, authors of #1 New York Times bestselling Atlas Obscura and Gastro Obscura, comes an unputdownable celebration of the world’s living wonders. Join author Cara Giaimo as we learn how dung beetles navigate by the stars and trees communicate through their roots. Pay your respects to a 44,000 year old shrub. Hear stories of the wild world’s human protectors: a honey hunter and his avian partners, a scientist working to find the world’s only ocean-dwelling insects, and an offshore radio DJ who is at the heart of the local fishing community. Teeming with detail and wildly entertaining, Wild Life reinvigorates our sense of wonder about the incredible creatures with whom we share our planet.  

“It makes me want to run upstairs, pack a bag, and bolt away to some far-flung corner of this astounding planet.” – Mary Roach, bestselling author of Stiff and Packing for Mars
