    An Explorer's Notebook

    Best known for his #1 international bestseller The Weather Makers, Tim Flannery is one of the world’s most influential scientists, a foremost expert on climate change credited with discovering more species than Charles Darwin. But Flannery didn’t come to his knowledge overnight. With its selection of exhilarating essays and articles written over the past thirty years, An Explorer’s Notebook charts the evolution of a young scientist doing fieldwork in remote locations into the major thinker who has changed the way we think about global warming. In these thirty pieces, Flannery writes about his journeys in the jungles of New Guinea and Indonesia, about the extraordinary people he met and the species he discovered. He writes about matters as wide-ranging as love, insects, population, water, and the stresses we put on the environment. He shows us how we can better predict our future by understanding the profound history of life on Earth. And he chronicles the seismic shift in the world’s attitude toward climate change. An Explorer’s Notebook is classic Flannery—wide-ranging, eye-opening science, conveyed with richly detailed storytelling.

    Throwim Way Leg

    From the bestselling author of The Weather Makers: "An enthralling introduction to the mountain people of New Guinea . . . and to their magnificent land" (The New York Times Book Review). A world expert on the fauna of New Guinea with twenty new species and over seven books to his credit, Tim Flannery takes us into the field and on an unforgettable journey into the heart of this mysterious and uncharted country. Flannery's scientific voyage leads him to places he never dreamed of: he camps among cannibals and befriends Femsep, a legendary warrior who led the slaughter of colonial whites decades before. He enters caves full of skeletons of long-extinct, giant marsupials, scales mountains previously untouched by Europeans, and is nearly killed when tribes people decide to take revenge for their prior mistreatment by his "clan" (wildlife scientists). And Flannery writes movingly of the fate of indigenous people in collision with the high-tech world of late-twentieth-century industry. In New Guinea Pidgin, "throwim way leg" means to thrust out your leg on the first step of a long journey. Full of adventure, wit, and natural wonders, Flannery's narrative is just such a spectacular trip. Like Redmond O'Hanlon's classics Into the Heart of Borneo and No Mercy, Throwim Way Leg is a tour de force of travel, anthropology, and natural history. "Flannery combines diligent science, heart-pounding adventure, and a respect for ancient cultures to create a compelling tale." —Sierra, The National Magazine of the Sierra Club

    E-book

    De eerste 100 miljoen jaar

    Tim Flannery brengt in zijn baanbrekende boek Europa de geschiedenis van ons werelddeel in kaart en de krachten die het leven erop vormen – inclusief de moderne mens – en schildert daarmee een portret van een continent dat vandaag de dag nog steeds een enorme invloed op de wereld uitoefent. Zo’n 100 miljoen jaar geleden dreven de drie grote continenten – Azië, Noord-Amerika en Afrika – uit elkaar, waardoor een grote, tropische eilandenarchipel ontstond. Deze archipel zou zich ontwikkelen tot Europa. Flannery vertelt de rijke geschiedenis van dit werelddeel vanuit een verrassende en vernieuwende invalshoek: de ecologie. Door de eeuwen heen zijn talloze dier- en plantsoorten naar Europa gemigreerd en met het continent mee geëvolueerd. In Europa werden de eerste koraalriffen gevormd, leefden holenberen, mammoeten en ’s werelds grootste olifanten én vonden cruciale ontwikkelingen plaats in de ontwikkeling van onze eigen soort. Sinds de mens 40 000 jaar geleden in Europa aankwam heeft hij enorme invloed gehad op de flora en fauna, en die invloed neemt alleen maar toe.
