After many years of research and proof- reading I have managed to complete this stupendous piece of work. I have been in the jungles of darkest Africa, in the Polar regions, on mountain peaks, across desert sands, on busy streets, in tall oflice buildings, under shady trees along country lanes-just everywhere to trace the footsteps of these wandering seniors.
