Beskrivelse
'A rare and magical book. I didn't want it to end.' Bill Bryson'Rundell is the real deal, a writer of boundless gifts and extraordinary imaginative power.' Observer'Rundell's pen is gold-tipped.' Sunday TimesThe world is more astonishing, more miraculous and more wonderful than our wildest imaginings. In this passionately persuasive and sharply funny book, Katherine Rundell tells us how and why. ***A swift flies two million kilometres in its lifetime. That's far enough to get to the moon and back twice over - and then once more to the moon. A pangolin keeps its tongue furled in a pouch by its hip, a Greenland shark can live five hundred years, a wombat once inspired a love poem.
