'A rare and magical book. I didn't want it to end.' Bill Bryson 'A total miracle.' Max Porter 'A witty, intoxicating paean to Earth's wondrous creatures.' Observer 'Rundell's pen is gold-tipped.' Sunday Times ** SHORTLISTED FOR WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR ** The world is more astonishing, more miraculous and more wonderful than our wildest imaginings. In this passionately persuasive and sharply funny book, Katherine Rundell tells us how and why. A lavishly illustrated collection of the lives of some of the Earth's most astounding animals, The Golden Mole is a chance to be awestruck and lovestruck - to reckon with the beauty of the world, its fragility, and its strangeness. A swift flies two million kilometres in its lifetime. That's far enough to get to the moon and back twice over - and then once more to the moon. A pangolin keeps its tongue furled in a pouch by its hip, a Greenland shark can live five hundred years, a wombat once inspired a love poem.

This story is a quest for an animal so rare that a sighting has never been recorded. The Somali golden mole was first described in 1964, but the sole evidence for its existence is a tiny fragment of jawbone found in an owl pellet. Intrigued by this elusive creature, and what it can tell us about extinction and survival, Richard Girling embarks on a hunt to find the animal and its discoverer - an Italian professor who he thinks might still be alive... Richard's journey comes at a time when one species - our own - is having to reconsider its relationship with every other. He delves into the history of exploration and cataloguing and the tall tales of the great hunters, traces the development of the conservation movement and addresses central issues of extinction and biodiversity.

Taking as its narrative engine the hunt for an animal that is legendarily rare, Richard Girling writes an engaging and highly informative history of humankind's interest in hunting and collecting – what prompts us to do this? what good might come of our need to catalog all the living things of the natural world? Girling, named Environmental Journalist of the Years 2008 and 2009, has here chronicled – through the hunt for the Somali golden mole – the development of the conservation movement, the importance of diversity in the animal kingdom, including humankind within this realm, as well as a hard look at extinction. The Somali mole of the title, first descibed in print in a text book published in 1964, had as sole evidence of its existence only the fragment of a jaw bone found in an owl pellet, a specimen that seemed to have vanished as Girling began his exploration. Intrigued by the elusiveness of this creature and what the hunt for the facts of its existence might tell us about extinction, he was drawn to the dusty vaults of museums of natural history where the most rare artifacts are stored and catalogued, as he found himself caught up in the need to track it down. Part quest, part travelog, the book that results not only offers an important voice to the scientific debate about extinction and biodiversity it becomes an environmental call to arms.

On a small, protected mountain ridge in the middle of suburban Pretoria, Goldi the Golden Mole and her family fight for survival. Their species is almost extinct, and now a housing development project threatens their very existence.Goldi and his best friend Zaza, the cat, think of a challenging and dangerous plan to avert this disaster and save the Golden Moles.Will they be successful?About The StoryThe story of Zaza and the Golden Mole is based on true events; the cat Zaza did bring home the first golden mole seen in many years on the day before the crucial meeting on the planned development project. The interaction between Zaza and the golden mole originated in the imagination. The author is Zaza's human mom.About Golden MolesThe Juliana's golden-mole (Neamblysomus julianae) are on the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) red list of threatened species. They belong to an ancient group of mammals known as the Afrotheria. Recent genetic evidence suggests that they might be related to elephants, hyraxes, and sea cows (amongst others), rather than to moles. The Juliana's golden moles live in only three places in South Africa. Two of these locations are state-owned nature conservation areas. The third place, the Bronberg mountain range in the east of Pretoria, is part of a Green Belt protected area which is privately owned, but where strict development regulations are in place.
