    A must read!
  

*by G***D on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2023*

Most important point is: Read This Book.  This is one of the finest works by any author who has an understanding of what humanity is doing to destroy the eco-system.  The title is slightly misleading.  This is fine work of philosophy and commentary on how humans fit into all life on earth.  I have read many of the works that the author (Caspar Henderson) quotes, but I have been negligent in reading any of his writings.  Don't make the same mistake.  This is one of the finest and most interesting look at animals and the environment.  It gives a boost to the works of the other naturalists such as David Attenborough and Lucy Cooke as well as such scientists Richard Dawkins and a long list of others.  Bravo!!

    Excellent Book
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2013*

I heard about this Bestiary book on a NPR show that interviewed Caspar Henderson and discussed the nature of Bestiaries historically as well as why Mr. henderson had chosen these few as the principle "characters" of his new book.  What captured my attention and interest in the book was that under "C" was the Crown of Thorns Starfish, a unique sea creature found in mopst of the oceans of the world and that was purportedly being singled out for the devastation of the Great Barrier and other reefs around the world.In fact, in 1976, I was a part of a research project sponsored by NAUI, Scripps Institute of Oceanography at UC San Diego, and led by Dr. Martin Chan of Cabrillo College whose purpose was to plot the northern intrusion of the Crown of Thorns Starfish into the Sea of Cortez from San Felipe, Baja, Mex to La Paz, Baja, Mex.  Along the way, we photographically documented and recorded the Crown of Thorns Starfish, it's populations along the southern route, marine conditions, and food sources that we found the starfish consuming.  We found no evidence of the Crown of Thorns in the norther part of the research path where known corals flourish.  we did see the starfish on the southern part of the research trek and most of them were feeding on octo-coral sea fans as opposed to true corals.  At that time, it was thought that the Crown of Thorns only consumed true corals.It was a marvelous time spent diving 3 to 4 times daily over the course of the week, an eye opener to the first research diving expedition that I had ever been on, and a great source of underwater photography not only for he Crown of Thorns; but, other species that thrive in the Sea of Cortez and many different latitudes.Seeing the Crown of Thorns given the recognition in Caspar Henderson's "The Book of Barely Imagined Beings: A 21st Century Bestiary" was a very special treat given my experience.  Don't be fooled into thinking; however, hat this is the only interesting creature in the book, because the whole book is wonderful, especially due to historical bestiary documents and our accounts of various inhabitants of this Earth besides ourselves. Just a wonderful hint at the variety and strangeness of life on Earth.  Are there any shortcomings of the book?  Of course, as it only is he beginning of a modern day book of bestiary and I hope that Mr. Henderson, ads additional books in the future!
