Genre


Amy-Jane Beer is a biologist and writer. She has written more than 30 books about science and natural history including Cool Nature and The A-Z of Wildlife Watching. She has also edited a number of wildlife publications including Animals, Animals, Animals and Wildlife World magazine.
The natural sciences have been a lifelong fascination for her, and her childhood enthusiasm was formalised at Royal Holloway University of London, where she graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Biology, then spent years squinting down a microscope and fretting over the welfare of a tank full of sea urchin larvae to earn a PhD.

Quotes by Amy-Jane Beer  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There's a reason we can't look away [from water]. Psycologists call it a 'soft fascination': the sight and sound of moving water is sufficiently stimulating to occupy the brain, but irregular enough that it doesn't become hypnotic or monotonous. It hold attention without dominating thought, freeing the mind to swim elsewhere.”
Amy-Jane Beer, The Flow: Rivers, Water and Wildness
