Author’s Interests

Since early childhood, due to his parents’ and grandparents’ influence, Andrei Ionescu has been keenly interested in everything related to biology, paleontology, and astronomy. Living for a large part of his early life surrounded by pets in a house with a large garden, he was able to combine theoretical knowledge from textbooks and various kinds of nature writing that he was exposed to with a deeply personal involvement with nature and its intricate processes. Later on, he managed to successfully express the knowledge he gathered experientially and through reading in a wide variety of writings, ranging from fiction and academic publications to journalistic writing.
