ON CALL TO THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
“You simply must find out what the fuss is all about”
Dr. Nigel Dougherty is a new breed of vet - a vet with a strong environmental conscience and an insatiable appetite for travel. Join his remarkable ‘walkabout’ around the world, in which his attentions are turned to some of the most pressing humanitarian and conservation issues of our time.
“It’s just so beautifully uncontrived”
As a blend of adventure travelogue, veterinary anecdote and state-of-the-planet wake-up call, On Call to the Animal Kingdom is an inimitably fresh take in contemporary journalism. Not even the big names in documentary will be able to put something like this book together - because it’s simply the product of a lifetime’s worth of work and a lifetime’s dedication to a cause.
“Become an armchair vet - in some exciting and exotic places”
Besides bringing to light what it means to work in such an involved manner with animals and their custodians, the very essence of such work has allowed the author to look unobtrusively at the changing ways in which Humanity now relates to Nature – in many interesting and different parts of the world.
“ A truly awesome rollercoaster”
Showcasing a bewildering array of experiences, On Call to the Animal Kingdom will take you on an emotional ‘rollercoaster’ of a journey – particularly sobering and poignant one moment, yet so enlightening and awe-inspiring the next. Not only does the journey itself encourage us to identify with the natural world once again, but it also prompts us to question what our quality of life will be like in a world that is becoming increasingly barren.
The Overall Verdict?
“On Call To The Animal Kingdom is simply amust read for any and every enthusiast of the living planet.”
