(PRLeap.com) "Meanderings & Reflections of a Life", a new book by John Herbert, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.Friends often ask mammalogist John Herbert about his life in Africa and the Caribbean, so he would tell stories about his family and their experiences and they would often respond, "You should write a book." His children, having been born in Africa, and their African friends would question, "What was it like growing up in America?" Over time, he began to write short stories. "Meanderings & Reflections of a Life" is the result, spanning growing up in a small mid-western town in America and life as a wildlife ecologist in various parts of Africa. The beautiful antithesis of these two worlds is what makes Herbert's book so impactful.
