'Inspirational' - Professor Alice Roberts 'Engrossing' - Professor
Ben Garrod Rhys Jones was brought up on a council estate in South
Wales where expectations for what life held in store for you were
slim. As he recalls, he was born fighting and never stopped. His
perspective on what life could offer him changed forever in the
early 1980s when his grandfather took him to the local cinema to
see Stephen Spielberg's blockbuster Raiders of the Lost Ark. The
dream of emulating his hero Indiana Jones and travelling to the
farthest reaches of the planet to explore exotic locations and its
wildlife now burned deep inside him. As he progressed at school
this passion to escape and explore was further kindled through the
pages of an old natural history encyclopaedia given to him by his
grandmother. Devouring the pages, the encyclopaedia would help
craft his chosen path in life. Like his hero and namesake Indiana
Jones, Rhys's journey has now taken him to all corners of the globe
with friends and colleagues at every port; from the Australian
outback to the furthest outpost of the Maasai tribe in Eastern
Africa. In Becoming Dr Jones Rhys will take the reader on an
inspiring journey through his life. One filled with highs, lows,
humour and poignancy, as well as reverent insights into some of the
amazing residents of our beloved natural world. If adventure had a
name it would be Jones, and Dr Rhys Jones has taken that mantle to
a whole new level!
