FROM THE BACK COVER: In the increasingly technological and urbanised world of the early 21st Century, we in the west are becoming increasingly sedentary. There are wild places left on the planet, but most people are content to watch programmes about them on the television. Not so Carl Portman, spider expert living in Oxfordshire, UK.


With two `Sheila's' in tow (one of them being his long suffering partner Susan) Carl cuts a swathe of genial chaos across the North Australian rainforest as he hunts for the elusive whistling spider while the girls try to work on their suntans. This is not only a highly informative book for the amateur entomologist, but is one of the most amusing and endearing books you will read all year. But now it's your turn. In the words of a long forgotten punk band called The Desperate Bicycles "It was easy, it was cheap, go and do it!"
