The account of zoologist Marston Bates' wife, Nancy Bell Bates, documenting her observations and their experiences while living and traveling in Columbia, while Marston (who she affectionately refers to as the 'Boss') was studying aspects of yellow fever for the Rockefeller Foundation. From the rear flap: ''This is the story of life in an unfamiliar land, told with a delightful informality, told humorously, intimately. It is full of strange sights, strange animals, strange household pets, strange customs. In some of the most engrossing pages, Nancy Bell Bates initiates you into the fascinations of ''The Boss's'' share in the battle against yellow fever. Mrs. Bates has been one of her husband's assistants in his Rockefeller Foundation's research, chiefly on mosquitoes and monkeys, to find the links in the chain that can keep this deadly virus alive in the world without the agency of man.'' Nancy Bell Bates (1912-1976) was the daughter of the botanist David Fairchild and the granddaughter of Alexander Graham Bell. She married Marston in 1939.
