De: Tim Flannery

Narrado por: Paul Hodgson

In New Guinea pidgin, "throwim way leg" means to kick 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 - a tour de force of travel, anthropology, and natural history.

Fact and humour

A very informative book of the writer!s experiences as a scientist and wildlife collector, but also as a great traveller. He has an enormous capacity for understanding and appreciating different people and bringing them to life on the page often with extremely humorous anecdotes. This is one book I shall listen to it again.

Amazing stories of an amazing place

One of the best natural history memoirs ever written. What a life Flannery has led. You can't find a better document of a time and place, and a description of how hard won scientific knowledge is acquired.

Great Story!!!!

Wow what a fantastic book .. Having always wanted to go to PNG and more this book really outlined for me so much of the Flora and Fauna of this magnificent Place!
