CURIOUS SPECIES How Animals Made Natural History

Rattlesnakes are just one of the creatures science writer-turned-academic Robles ponders as she blends her own perspectives and historical writings into this audiobook of essays on the human study of various species, such as coral and sharks. Narrator Daniela Acitelli brings a sense of wonder to a Native American story about the rattlesnake world. Her pace increases with Robles' personal narrative and interaction with rattlesnakes. Acitelli gives a deeper, serious tone to historical descriptions of wonders such as coral cliffs, and brings a touch of humor when the sexual habits of raccoons are described.
