Hart wrote the chapter entitled Birds, which was singled out by The Telegraph as the best entry within the book. She knew the original James Bond, as both were Jamaica-based ornithologists.Ian Fleming introduces the island where, at his coastal winter retreat named "Goldeneye", he wrote one James Bond novel per year from 1952/3 to 1964. The main body of this readable work is devoted to the natural history, literature, architecture, politics, leisure, and general culture of Jamaica.
