Rezensionen

"This book has benefited from more colour from Somerville's extensive on-the-ground reporting, including his first-hand observations of the interactions of jackals and honey badgers in Botswana - observations that lead to this work, which stands as a definitive account of these often misunderstood and persecuted creatures."

Ed Stoddard, in an excerpt from a review in Daily Maverick, South Africa.
