Susan Ballard's Reviews > Amphibious Soul: Finding the Wild in a Tame World

3.5 ⭐️


“An important book that will transform how we think about being human.
… that will inspire hope.”—Jane Goodall



I’m a little envious of Mr. Foster, who has spent most of his life exploring the natural world. As a famous natural history filmmaker, he has witnessed the beauty and wonder of the wild, as well as the dangers.

In this memoir, he shares many of his experiences, observations, and a few lessons, too. After decades of diving into the depths of the oceans and encountering creatures such as sharks, crocodiles, octopi, and many others, Mr. Foster reminds us that we are all connected - this is our planet to share and care for.

While more of a personal journey, it is a book you can take your time with, savor, and reflect on as you go. It is perfect for travel, adventure, or nature lovers.
