Try again: “Red Nile: A Biography of the World’s Greatest River”
Posted By RichC on August 21, 2024
After spring gave way to summer, I put down a hardback book I started called “Red Nile — A Biography of the World’s Greatest River” by Robert Twigger, but after seeing this photo of a 22 feet, 2500 pound Crocodile in Niger, Africa, decided I wanted to pick it up again (it sits next to my reading chair in my home office).
The book is interesting in that those of us who see sizes through the eyes of our home countries (Europeans even more that Americans), have to rethink just how large the Nile River is (and Nile crocs too!) … or for that matter the immensity of Africa.
