Ten years in the life of a young New Zealander in the Forest Service- he's physically tough, untutored but keen to get ahead- bring about an amazing metamorphosis. The Technical Trainee of the early pages is barely recognisable as the double-degreed professional entomologist- the bug man who emerges in statu imaginis at the end of 1954. Adventures and dangers lie in wait along the trees to bees trail for the budding academic- and they're not all winged or four-legged! This delightfully written autobiographical slice shows how gutsy determination and two inspirational texts took the author to his chosen speciality and an international career. With illustrations, maps, ports.. Paperback, 444 pages. Size: 203 x 127 mm. Weight: 985g.
