The Author

Janesta Pulella

Pathfinder has taken more than 15 years of sketching, editing and researching information which was then curated into a book that is easy to use. It is illustrated with diagrams and straight forward explanatory information which will be useful to, not only field guides, but to anyone who has an interest in nature.
— Janesta Pulella

"When it comes to nature, look, learn, take it all in. Keep it close to your heart and treasure it always."

I nominate this book...

Her influence is felt all the way up here in Kenya and Tanzania, where guides who have never met her sing her praises for having learned so much from her fantastic Pathfinder book. In person, she's a great guide, and an even better teacher, and a warm personality.

I'm loving this book.

I did my FGASA qualification a few years ago, even though I was about 54 years old.  Your book just explains what we learnt in a better way and I will certainly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about nature.
