Apologies for the cross-posting.
This message will be of interest to geographers involved on courses exploring nature-society interactions, human-animal relations, landscape and identity, and a more general fascination with the natural world.
My new book, The Nature Magpie, was released on May 2, 2013. It's a unique collection, informed by my academic interests, but accessible enough to excite a broad readership. It's quirky, thought-provoking and humorous with a serious conservation message.
Dr Desmond Morris has already described the book as "A miscellany that keeps you turning the pages". Professor Bill Adams added: "The Nature Magpie is seductively readable, a delightful and constantly surprising compendium of facts about nature."
If you have the time, please take a look at the book. I think it would be a great addition to undergraduate reading lists. http://www.drdanielallen.co.uk/the-nature-magpie/
