Chasing Kangaroos: A Continent, A Scientist,
& A Search for the World's Most Extraordinary Creature
by: Flannery, Tim
Tim Flannery draws on three decades of travel, research, and fieldwork 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. Color photos. 258 pgs.
