Guest guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Forwarded message from Mr. Peter Laufer on his latest book launch: Just a quick note to let you know that my latest book,*** The Dangerous World of Butterflies: The Startling Subculture of Criminals, Collectors, and Conservationists*, officially launches May 5 (although Amazon is already shipping it). Yesterday the*** Los Angeles Times* wrote, " Like*** The Orchid Thief*,*** The Dangerous World of Butterflies* takes us deep into the dark heart of obsessed collectors and the passionate activism of people working to repopulate species. Worlds within worlds: Laufer, a veteran reporter on cultural and political borders, understands how these worlds cross and collide. His book is a Venn diagram of the beautiful and bizarre. Today*** Publishers Weekly* calls the book a " compelling all-angles examination " and says, " In casual prose, Laufer delivers an absorbing science lesson. " ***** Kirkus Reviews* calls the book, " A charming . . . meditation on butterfies and people who love them. " And my hometown paper, the***** Bohemian*, found it " . . . packs real entertainment wallop in a book filled with informed tidbits custom-designed for cocktail hour. " I hope you check it out and like what you find; please let me know.
