This is a totally subjective book of photographs of a treasured Glasgow icon within another amazing place known to all Glaswegians, the Botanical Gardens. The gardens and the palace seem to perfectly merge into each other in a totally seamless pattern of perfect harmony.

Natural history guide to the land snails and slugs of Samoa and American Samoa

From the age of ten, the author was determined to be involved with African wildlife. This memoir recounts how he was able to fulfil this dream, travelling through Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Egypt, as well as the Yemen, which biologically is almost Africa. He tells of being captured by Eritrean guerillas, seeing Gelada baboons in the Ethiopian highlands and the huge migrations of zebra and wildebeest in the Serengeti, doing research on termites in Darfur as well as assessing agricultural problems in the highest fastnesses of the Yemeni mountains, gazing in awe at the Pyramids of Giza and marvelling at the Victoria Falls in full flow.
