In his most personal book yet, Tim Flannery, the internationally
acclaimed author of"The Weather Makers," draws on three decades of
travel, research, and field work to craft a love letter to his
native land and one of its most unique and beloved inhabitants: the
kangaroo. Crisscrossing the continent, Flannery shows us how the
destiny of this extraordinary creature is inseparable from the
environment that created it. Along the way he uses encounters with
ancient aboriginal cultures and eccentric fossil hunters, farmers
and scientists, kangaroo advocates and kangaroo hunters, to explore
how Australia's deserts and rain forests have shaped human
responses to the continent--and how kangaroos have evolved to
handle the resulting challenges. Ultimately, "Chasing Kangaroos"is
a captivating blend of memoir, travel, natural history, and
evolutionary science--and further proof of Flannery's "offhand
interdisciplinary brilliance" ("Entertainment Weekly").
