Overview
This two-book paperback collection brings together biologist and television host Jeremy Wade's most celebrated non-fiction writing. River Monsters recounts his real-life hunts for the world's most fearsome freshwater predators, blending adventure, detective work, and natural history from remote rivers across the globe. How to Think Like a Fish distills decades of angling experience into a practical, mindset-driven guide covering instinct, observation, and decision-making at the water's edge.

About the Books
River Monsters is Jeremy Wade's account of a lifetime spent chasing legendary freshwater predators in remote and unforgiving waterways. Drawing on more than two decades of fieldwork, Wade investigates local legends of man-eating fish, applying scientific rigor and firsthand experience to separate fact from folklore. Each chapter reads like a detective story, following Wade as he tracks down species ranging from goliath tigerfish to giant catfish, describing the ecosystems that produce them and the risks involved in pursuing them. The book pairs vivid travel writing with biological insight, giving readers a firsthand sense of the culture, geography, and danger behind his famous television investigations. How to Think Like a Fish shifts focus from expedition narrative to practical philosophy. Wade reflects on what decades of angling have taught him about patience, observation, and problem-solving. Rather than a conventional how-to guide, the book explores the mental habits that separate consistently successful anglers from the rest: reading water conditions, recognizing subtle behavioral cues, and knowing when instinct should override standard technique. Wade weaves personal anecdotes with broader reflections on decision-making under uncertainty, lessons that extend well beyond fishing itself. Read together, the two books offer a rounded portrait of Wade as both explorer and thinker, pairing high-stakes adventure with the quieter discipline of craft.
