Our free e-book for September is Into Africa by Craig Packer, who takes us along for his work among the lions of the Serengeti, vividly showing the sights, sounds, and uncertainties of field biology. With a side trip to check in on the primates in Gombe, Packer relates fascinating science as well as the accompanying dangers: the drunks in the bar, the kidnappers in Gombe, and the cobra that emerged from a toilet.
