Thinking about Wild, I was reminded that Simon Herton introduced me to a word for left handedness, mancinism. He says "..why would we want another ... word for left-handedness? For the ..... animals that don't have hands." We could thus say that polar bears have mancinism.
Back to Wild, Jay Griffiths writes about Isabelle Eberhardt, whose writing I discovered last year in The Illustrated Virago Book of Women Travellers. I must look out for The Passionate Nomad, an extract of which was in above.
