David Barrie

David Barrie is a British author and former diplomat who has combined a distinguished career in public service with a lifelong passion for navigation and the natural world. He served as a diplomat and later led the Royal Society of Arts. Incredible Journeys examines the extraordinary navigational abilities of animals — from Arctic terns to sea turtles to dung beetles — exploring how creatures find their way across vast distances using the sun, stars, magnetic fields and senses that humans can barely comprehend. Barrie writes with wonder and scientific curiosity. His audiobooks and books are fascinating listening for nature lovers and anyone amazed by the navigational genius of the animal kingdom.
