A great book by this man, and a very enjoyable read
Robert Sapolsky's A Primate's Memoir is excellent. I had been working with primates as an undergrad and was thinking about doing field work but wasn't sure if I had just romanticized the whole thing. The lab director heard about this and lent me this book and inspired me to go out and do it! After spending 9 months in Africa, I applied for a post-grad program in primatology and will be going out again next spring! It basically changed my life.
Another great one is Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild. Taught me there's nothing to fear in nature. Helped me adjust to field life and now I'm absolutely addicted to the outside.
