Tim Flannery is one of the world's most influential scientists,
credited with discovering more species than Darwin. In Among the
Islands Flannery recounts a series of expeditions he made at the
dawn of his career to the strange tropical islands of the South
Pacific, a great arc stretching nearly 4,000 miles from the
postcard perfection of Polynesia to some of the largest, highest,
ancient, and most rugged islands on earth. Flannery was traveling
in search of rare and undiscovered mammal species, but he found
much more: wild, weird places where local taboos, foul weather,
dense jungle, and sheer remoteness made for difficult and dramatic
exploration. Among the Islands is full of fascinating
creatures--monkey faced bats, giant rats, gazelle-faced black
wallabies, and more--and the adventure of discovery. This is an
idea read for anyone who has ever imagined voyaging to the ends of
the earth to uncover and study the rare and the wonderful.
