Cherry is like no one Jack has ever met. Yet she is very much like him.From their first encounter Jack and Cherry are drawn together. They are united by their similarities, yet divided by geography. Their distance allows them to explore one another in a way physical closeness never could.Exploring themes of life and death, friendship and family, perception, societal norms and the environment, MENAGERIE OF FALSE TRUTHS promises to be the most compelling book you’ll read this year.In MENAGERIE OF FALSE TRUTHS, Greg French, author of the much-loved FROG CALL and ARTIFICIAL, draws on his passion for nature, his love of story-telling and a family history that was both dysfunctional and, crucially, formative due to his growing up with autistic siblings and emotionally distant mother. The result is a delightfully quirky ‘faction’ read, which questions the very nature of reality and human relationships.The autobiographical character Jack shares the author’s unique insights into the incredible complexity and beauty of the natural world, borne of a lifetime exploring the unforgettable wilderness that is Tasmania.At every page the reader is exposed to alternative ways of viewing the world, often disturbing, sometimes strangely liberating. MENAGERIE OF FALSE TRUTHS is an unforgettable work of genius that will leave you reeling.

Yellowstone, the world's first national park and one of America's truly great trout fisheries, has been a crucible for ideas on how to look after wild places. Renowned Australian fishing writer Greg French gives a sparkling firsthand account of how the park's history, landscapes, wildlife, and people have touched anglers worldwide -- and why this matters. The Imperiled Cutthroat is a travelogue that covers the story of the Yellowstone cutthroat trout: its discovery, biology, decimation, modern-day allure, and uncertain future. Although set against the dramatic backdrop of Yellowstone, comparisons to Australia, New Zealand, and Europe are inevitable. It is a cautionary tale too, ending up in Mongolia, which is as pristine as Montana once was. The Yellowstone fishery is at a crossroads, and debate about what to do is dangerously narrow. Anglers everywhere need to be constantly reminded that hatcheries are far from a panacea for ailing fisheries: fostering conservation of the natural environmental delivers far better outcomes at a fraction of the cost.The power of Greg's stories comes not just from the quality of the writing but also from the quirks and passions of the people he meets. Greg's compelling storytelling enthralls anglers and naturalists the world over.
