Tim Flannery is one of the world's most important scientists, credited with discovering more types than Darwin. In Among the Islands, Flannery recounts a series of expeditions he made at the dawn of his job to the odd tropical islands of the South Pacific, a great arc stretches nearly 4,000 mls from the postcard excellence of Polynesia for some of the biggest, highest, most historic, and most tough islands on the planet. Flannery was visiting in search of uncommon and undiscovered mammal types, but he found much more: wild, odd places where local taboos, bad weather, thick jungle, and pure remoteness designed for difficult and dramatic exploration. Among the Islands is full of fascinating creatures - monkey-faced bats, big fats, gazelle-faced black wallabies, plus more - and the adventure of discovery. This is a perfect listen for anyone who has ever imagined voyaging to the ends of the Earth to discover and examine the uncommon and the wonderful.
