Journeys to the Other Side of the World by David Attenborough. This is effectively the second half of a collection that started with Adventures of a Young Naturalist which I read a bit over a year ago. My review this time is almost identical, I really liked both these books...

A 2018 republication of his accounts from the late 1950s and early 1960s, of expeditions on behalf of the BBC (this time not all were "Zoo Quest" expeditions). The black and white images embedded in the ebook don't show up very well on an e-reader, but I just looked at them on the PC - it's not essential that you have them as you read. There are also some colour plates at the back. This was very enjoyable. It was both interesting and entertaining, and David Attenborough's distinctive voice shines through and makes it very easy reading. 4/5.
