In this thrilling foray into the animal kingdom, Richard Conniff takes readers on an adventure-packed journey as he courts the most dangerous animals and lives to tell the tale. He lets African wild dogs sniff his neck to test the idea that they are vicious man-eaters, sticks his hand in a fire ant mound and does multiple takes for a pretty camerawoman on a television shoot, and flings chicken carcasses into piranha-infested waters to clock how quickly they disappear--before diving in himself. This collection offers a rare chance to go along on these death-defying treks and see life through the eyes of a bona-fide field naturalist.Binding Type: Paperback

Quality valet tray, darker brown
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
Sizing is as described and it is sturdy and well-made, but color is not quite as shown in the product images, more of a darker brown.

Absolute Gamechanger
Color: *Black
I went from casually dropping everything onto my nightstand in it’s designated spot to actually being able to store things neatly. The organization is insanely satisfying on top of just looking better than a bunch of loose items on a table. The size is quite large but you should know what you are getting. This tray offers a ton of storage for both small and large pocketable items. I even have a bit of extra room for my glasses or future EDC. Build quality is insanely solid and I have no qualms with how it functions. Worth the money.

Almost Great
Color: *Black
This is a better-quality night-table/desktop organizer with enough space to put most of your EDC or pocket items, including cell phones, chargers and even some jewelry. Definitely better than most others and worth the price. The only reason it didn't get a fifth star was the placement/ergonomics of the charges/wires. there are two (2) holes for wires for phones. There are more than enough spaces for phones, and other devices. The holes are just too small for more than 1 or 2 wires. not enough room. There is a great cut out on the size for pens, and another area for jewelry or cuff links. well thought out - but again, a tad small for today's user. Overall, well made, looks nice, can fit almost everything
