In an autobiographical narrative that travels through decades and countries, Dana Quinney entertains and enlightens in her most recent journey What We Take: Memories of an Outdoor Biologist. Spanning from the 1960s to the early 2000s, Dana recounts her stories of adventure, overcoming personal struggles, and studying fascinating wildlife during her career as an Outdoor Biologist. From the arid deserts of Mexico to the tumultuous weather of Australia, she offers tidbits of herself as well as our world at large and shows that what we take—what we remember—is worth keeping.
