Starting with a survey of one of the most inaccessible islands in Melanesia, the young scientist found himself ghost whispering, snake wrestling and quadoi hunting, all the while in search of a small bat that turned out not to be earth-shatteringly interesting.\u003cp\u003eWith accounts of discovering, naming and sometimes eating new mammal species; being thwarted or aided by local customs; and undertaking historic scientific expeditions, Flannery, now one of the world’s top environmentalists, takes us on an enthralling journey through some of the most diverse and spectacular places on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781443413572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":41078987784398,"sku":"9781443413572","price":14.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9781443413572.jpg?v=1648785153","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781443413572","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
