A rags to riches tale from Wales' finest natural historian.
'Inspirational' Professor Alice Roberts
'Engrossing' Professor Ben Garrod
The enthralling coming-of-age story of wildlife presenter and scientist Rhys Jones
Growing up on a council estate in South Wales, Rhys Jones never imagined how far life could take him. But a trip with his grandfather to see Stephen Spielberg's blockbuster Raiders of the Lost Ark changed his perspective forever. The dream of emulating his hero Indiana Jones and travelling to the farthest reaches of the planet to explore exotic locations and its wildlife burned deep inside him.
In Becoming Dr Jones, Rhys shares his inspiring journey, from the Australian outback to the furthest outpost of the Maasai tribe in Eastern Africa. Filled with highs, lows, humour and poignancy, as well as reverent insights into some of the amazing residents of our beloved natural world, Dr Rhys Jones has taken the mantle of adventure to a whole new level.
