A strange title for a memoir


The Camel's Nose (571.1 SCH in the biography section) is a memoir by Knut Schmidt-Nielsen, a Professor Emertus in the Department of Zoology at Duke University.

Schmidt-Nielsen grew up in Oslo, Norway. He received his education in Oslo and Copenhagen. As a scientist, he traveled all over the globe, from the Brazilian rain forest to the Sahara Desert to the Artic islands. He conducted experiments to understand the lives of animals living under extreme conditions.
