Book Review: Sandro Lovari. L’enigma delle pecore blu. L’altra faccia della zoologia

 
Questo libro è il diario di campo di Sandro Lovari, ricco di aneddoti e avvenimenti talvolta esaltanti, talvolta drammatici, intercalati alle osservazioni di campo su diverse specie, tra cui il goral (parente asiatico del camoscio), il tahr (un caprino) e il bharal (pecora blu).
