Spanning his childhood fascination with nature through his groundbreaking career as a biologist, television presenter, and curator at London Zoo, this memoir chronicles a life lived in extraordinary proximity to the animal world, offering an intimate portrait of a scientist driven by insatiable curiosity.\n\nMorris writes with the same disarming wit and observational precision that made The Naked Ape a global phenomenon, turning personal anecdote into a wider meditation on the relationship between humans and the creatures with whom they share the planet. Animal Days is as much a document of a changing scientific culture — the post-war era of popular biology, the rise of ethology, and the public appetite for natural history — as it is a personal story. For anyone who has ever wondered what compels a man to devote his life to understanding animal behaviour, this memoir delivers a frank and often surprising answer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203214647515,"sku":"2026200015445-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3ffad302-9109-4f07-a18a-7d0aeb4eebfe.png?v=1788145994","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015445-secondhand-animal-days","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
