An Explorer's Notebook is a fascinating and exhilarating selection of Tim Flannery's essays and articles written over two decades. In them we see his evolution from the young scientist conducting field work in remote locations to the influential commentator on climate change. His bestselling book The Weather Makers has inspired readers around the world. Flannery celebrates the wonders of the natural world. He describes his journeys into the jungles of New Guinea and Irian Jaya, the people he met and the species he discovered. He writes about matters as wide-ranging as love, insects, population, water and land management. And he shows us how we can better predict our future by understanding the profound history of life on Earth.
