Description
Advance praise for Of Moose and Men “A charmingly unrestrained narrator presents chapter subtitles like ‘More matters moosey,’ offering a hodgepodge of information about the behemoth of the family Cervidae. From the historical to the biological, Haigh leaves no aspect of moose-bound lore uncovered.” — Publishers Weekly Praise for Wrestling with Rhinos “Altogether, Wrestling with Rhinos is an important and finely crafted document about a knowledgeable expatriate’s perceptions of and experiences in Kenya . . . It is also a tender account of how Haigh met and married Dr. Jopie van de Riet, a medical doctor raised in India by Dutch parents. Afterwards, their lives were so entwined that she sometimes helped him with his animal patients, and he was pressed into service when Jo needed a Caesarean section to deliver their second child.” — Globe and Mail “It all sounds rather matter of fact when Jerry Haigh talks about his new book Wrestling with Rhinos: The Adventures of a Glasgow Vet in Kenya . But this is someone who really has stories to tell, and it’s icing on the cake that he also has a definite flare for spinning a yarn.” — Saskatoon Star Phoenix “This is a very easy-to-read book which can be picked up and dipped into during coffee breaks — but beware, the coffee breaks may become longer than intended.
