Crisscrossing the continent, Flannery shows us how the destiny of this extraordinary creature is inseparable from the environment that created it. Along the way he uses encounters with ancient aboriginal cultures and eccentric fossil hunters, farmers and scientists, kangaroo advocates and kangaroo hunters, to explore how Australia's deserts and rain forests have shaped human responses to the continent--and how kangaroos have evolved to handle the resulting challenges. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eChasing Kangaroos\u003c\/i\u003e is a captivating blend of memoir, travel, natural history, and evolutionary science--and further proof of Flannery's \"offhand interdisciplinary brilliance\" (\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.73 x 8.22 x 5.58 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53344338444595,"sku":"9780802143716","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/5AH_6-ZKSy9780802143716.webp?v=1778725062","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/chasing-kangaroos-a-continent-a-scientist-and-a-search-for-the-worlds-most-extraordinary-creature-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
