The Hilarious, riveting and sometimes terrifying adventures of an Australian field bioligist in the jungles and mountains of New  Guinea, one of the last frontiers left on earth.  In New Guinea Pidgin, throwin way leg means to go on a journey. It describes the action of thrusting out your leg to take the  first step of what can be a long march.  Flannery observes the collision of cultures as Catholic missionaries seek to reform traditional beliefs and mining companies  exploit the huge gold and copper resources of the island.

What is our place on Earth? Are humans destined to become a footnote in history, or will we become stronger and wiser, and conquer our environmental problems? In this extraordinary story of our planet and our place upon it, Here on Earth discovers the remarkable source of all life and how it has developed into the wonder around us today. From ant-colonies to zinc mining, Tim Flannery takes us on a journey around the world and from the top of the food-chain to the very chemicals of which we are made, and explores how the fate of humanity is in our own hands.

Tim Flannery's brilliant anthology reveals Sydney's strange and secret life, from its unruly beginnings to its arrival as the 'queen of the south' a century later. Sydney was born like no other city before it: 1500 souls - both convicts and their gaolers - struggled during the tempestuous summer of 1788 to establish an outpost of empire in a remote and incomprehensible new land. Superbly edited and introduced by Tim Flannery, The Birth of Sydney includes the voices of its settlers and inhabitants from Aboriginal women to Irish rebels and Russian sailors. Charles Darwin, Anthony Trollope and Mark Twain join a host of others in these pages to write the biography of Australia's first city.
