The book describes fascinating and adventurous expeditions to Central Asia, Transcaucasia, Kazakhstan and Israel, organized by the Institute of Ecology and Evolution Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, where the author and many of her colleagues who became the heroes of this story work.
Information about the biology of any the animal has to be collected bit by bit for many years, and only gradually they add up to a coherent picture, like a mosaic of individual details. The life of the same labeled agama lizards was sometimes observed for ten years. Each had its own habits and preferences, others disappeared for a long time, then unexpectedly reappeared... Different types of gulls were no less interesting object of research. Their complex and often incomprehensible behavior was studied during expeditions to the now disappeared islands of the Caspian Sea, to the Kara-Bogaz-Gol Bay and to Lake Tengiz. The book describes environmental changes, often irreversible, caused by both natural causes and destructive human activities.
The trips were not easy - heavy luggage, cold and unbearable heat, lack of water, difficulties with transport, psychological problems - nothing more transfer. But after many years, the difficulties are forgotten or perceived as fun adventures. There remains a delight in front of the beauty and diversity of nature and its mysteries.
