520 With his artist's eye, scientist's precision, and
explorer's free spirit, Dinets, a Russian immigrant and
Louisiana State University professor, is no ordinary
zoologist. Here, he leads readers on an intense and joyous
global pursuit of the mating customs of crocodiles (as
well as his own), chronicling the adventures in fieldwork
that would inform his graduate thesis.
