This marvelously entertaining field guide captures in vivid detail the behaviors and habitats of the world's most captivating yet elusive creature.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Journalist Richard Conniff probes the age-old question Are the rich different from you and me? and finds that they are indeed a completely different animal.
