In My Own Words:

Born in New York City, I now live in Jerusalem and work as an editor of scientific manuscripts. I'm an avid and somewhat opinionated reader. I tend to read fairly serious novels (well, at least no romances or pop-fiction). My tastes in non-fiction tend to be history, biology and spirituality.

Moon By Whale Light: And Other Adventures Among Ba&hellip by Diane Ackerman

Moon By Whale Light: And Other Adventures Among Bats,Penguins, Crocodilians, and Whales by Diane Ackerman

Nature writer vs. naturalist who writes, Nov 20 2001

Basically, as stories about animals we don't have much contact
with, this is a pretty good book. As science, well... Two sentences that floored me read, "How could anything that heavy float? But doesn't the moon float?" Uh, Ms. Ackerman, the moon is outside the earth's gravitational pull and ships float. What exactly was your point?
