My Wild Life: A Memoir by Peter Alden

From the jungles of New Guinea to the plains of Tanzania, one man's lifelong quest to see the world's rarest birds became a journey through the heart of our planet's wild places. As a pioneer of eco-tourism, he led travelers across continents long before GPS and guidebooks, facing snakes in the Amazon, lions in camp and more than a few brushes of danger - all in pursuit of wonder. 

Part memoir, part travelogue, this story recounts decades of adventures, discovery, and brushes with danger. 

"Peter Alden's story takes you back ot the early days of eco-travel, weaving humor, adventure, and nature's wonder. Whether you enjoy birds or not, you'll be hooked." 

It's a reminder that while the world keeps changing, the call of the wild our need to answer it never fades.
