Glick, a journalist and author, traveled with his two children to remote areas of the world to see rare animals and places. The adventures and sights they saw in places that include Borneo, Australia's Great Barrier Reef, Java, the Annamite Mountains of Vietnam, and Nepal are described in an engaging narrative that describes the grim threats to the animals and landscape alongside the account of their personal experiences.
