The Hunt for the Golden Mole: All Creatures Great and Small, and Why They Matter [Lingua Inglese] - Brossura

"That rarest of delights: a roaring book of huge importance written by a master storyteller exploring our fragile relationship with the animal kingdom, offering insights into how a hopeful future could yet be snatched from the jaws of despair. Not a hint of preaching, not a whiff of worthiness. A great story written not by an idealist but by a pragmatist with a heart of gold with a clear eyed view of the world." (Tim Smit)

"The Hunt for the Golden Mole is a wonderful book. At one level it is a detective story in which Richard Girling is on the hunt for a very rare creature. But it is much more than that: an understated but passionate advocacy for the biodiversity of the planet which combines lightly worn scholarship with a compelling argument. Overall it is a tour de force" (Jonathan Dimbleby)

"An informed and informative, provocative and rousing work" (Caspar Henderson Sunday Telegraph)

"This is a book that bursts into life from the first page... Rousing, fascinating... Utterly engaging" (Camilla Cavendish Sunday Times)

"This book is a sobering, riveting read: part quest, part travelogue, part scientific debate and part much-needed environmental call-to-arms" (Sarah Barrell National Geographic Traveller)
