Omschrijving
Bringing together the common and the enigmatic, The Three-Minute Outdoorsman Returns includes over seventy three-minute essays in which Robert M. Zink responds to the queries that have yet to cross your mind. Drawing on his zoological background, Zink condenses the latest scientific discoveries and delivers useful, entertaining information on the great outdoors.
"Zink's enjoyable follow-up to 2014's The Three-Minute Outdoorsman: Wild Science from Magnetic Deer to Mumbling Carp takes readers on an eclectic tour through various aspects of nature. Zink, a conservation biologist and animal ecologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, delves into dense scientific studies on sometimes obscure topics and, in a series of brief essays, translates their insights into layperson's language."—Publishers Weekly
Praise for Robert Zink’s book The Three‑Minute Outdoorsman: Wild Science from Magnetic Deer to Mumbling Carp:
“Robert Zink may be the perfect outdoor nimrod, an awestruck beginner with an inquiring mind. This book makes an old woodsy veteran like me pause to think about the fascinating and mysterious world in which we go forth to hunt and to fish. . . . all the while pretending to be experts.” —Ron Schara, host and founder of Minnesota Bound
“Robert M. Zink will capture the hearts of outdoors enthusiasts with a touch of science, a touch of common sense, uncommon wisdom, and a warm sense of humor. [This] is a must-read for anyone interested in nearly every aspect of the outdoor world.” —Babe Winkelman, outdoorsman and producer of the Outdoor Secrets
“[These are] explanations that come as easily as stories over beer. It is a unique look at the outdoors, from a guy who obviously has a lot of fun there.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune
“[Zink] sparks every fact with wit and humanity.”—Dave Wood, Hudson Star-Observer

"Have you ever gone out of your way to study a dead fish floating in one of Minnesota’s 10,000-plus lakes? Have you ever thought about how a well-manicured lawn could affect water quality and game and fish populations? Have you ever considered the relative benefits of moose drool? (We’re not talking about the popular brand of beer.) If such intellectual curiosities rarely, if ever, cross your mind, fear not. Robert Zink has you covered."—Tori J. McCormick, (Minneapolis) Star Tribune
