This new autobiography by wildlife celebrity Jonathan Scott celebrates the extraordinary life of one of the world`s most popular wildlife presenters & photographers. From his childhood on a Berkshire farm in the UK to his rise to international fame as a presenter on the Big Cat Diary, one of the BBC Natural History Unit`s most popular & long-running wildlife series, Jonathan Scott has lived a life that many people can only dream about. Following a degree in Zoology he travels 6, 000 miles overland to Africa, where he becomes first a wildlife artist & then a safari guide in the Masai Mara. His experience allows him to write his first major book The Marsh Lions, followed by The Leopard`s Tale. At the same time, his TV career is launched when he becomes a presenter on the long-running American series Wild Kingdom. Over the years Jonathan`s observations of wildlife prompt him to reflect on his own life, revealing a side to his character that he has struggled to overcome since childhood. Aged nearly forty, he finally finds peace through meeting & marrying his wife, Angela, & together with her two children they go on to prove you can mix domestic life & an adventurous career when you share a love of family & wilderness, art & photography. From their base in Kenya Jonathan & Angela travel to Antarctica, a continent which grips them no less than their adopted homel&, followed in later years by travels to India & Bhutan. Throughout, the call of Africa always draws them home, but Africa & the rest of the world are under siege from the tide of humanity that threatens to snuff out the last wild places. Having travelled the globe in search of award-winning photographs & lived a life of adventure, Jonathan & Angie find their world changes forever the day she is diagnosed with a cranial aneurism requiring urgent brain surgery. Facing up to that challenge draws them even closer together & forces them to examine the meaning of life, leading them on a spiritual journey to rival anything they have undertaken before. Ultimately, The Big Cat Man is a love story: one man`s infatuation with Africa & his unfailing devotion to the woman who shares his passion. Jonathan`s writing makes for a fascinating safari through a life lived in the world`s most spectacular wilderness area. His book raises uncomfortable questions about the future of wildlife on a continent where the needs of the people sometimes seem overwhelming; it will bring hope to those who have struggled with their own demons & been afraid to seek help; but most of all it will be an inspiration for those who, like Jonathan & Angie, long to follow their dream, whatever it may be. ...
