«Diario di un esploratore» is the collection of essays and chronicles by Tim Flannery, published by Corbaccio in hardback (284 pages, in Italian).
Writings by Tim Flannery, biologist and environmentalist, spanning more than twenty years: from his early research on kangaroos and fossils in Australia to his fight against climate change. Chronicles of expeditions and portraits of places and communities combine with a reflection on how climate shapes life on Earth and societies.
Subtitled «Essays on life, history & climate», it is part of the Exploits series. Originally published as «An Explorer's Notebook» in 2007, the Italian edition is translated by Tullio Cannillo.
For readers interested in popular science, expeditions and the environment, as well as in the careers of committed scientists.
Timothy Fridtjof Flannery is an Australian mammalogist, palaeontologist, environmentalist, conservationist, explorer, author, science communicator, activist, and public scientist. He is especially known for his 1994 book The Future Eaters, on the natural history of Australia, which was adapted for television in 2006, and his 2006 book The Weather Makers, about the effects of climate change in Australia.
