{"product_id":"9781760876791","title":"The Arbornaut : A life discovering the eighth continent in the trees above us","description":"Nicknamed the 'Real-Life Lorax' by National Geographic, the botanist and conservationist Meg Lowman takes us on an adventure into the eighth continent of the world's treetops, along her journey as a scientist, and into climate action.\n\nOne of the world's first tree-top scientists, Meg Lowman is as innovative as MacGuyver and as can-do as the Unsinkable Molly Brown. A pioneer in her field - she invented one of the first treetop walkways - she is a tireless advocate for the earth and has spent decades educating citizens across the globe. In a voice as infectious in its enthusiasm as in its practical optimism, \u003cspan style=\"font-style:italic;\"\u003eThe Arbornaut\u003c\/span\u003e chronicles her irresistible story.\n\nFrom climbing solo hundreds of feet into Australia's rainforests to measuring tree growth in the northeastern United States, from searching the redwoods of the Pacific coast for new life to studying leaf-eaters in Scotland's Highlands, from a bioblitz in Malaysia to conservation planning in India to collaborating with priests in Ethiopia's last forests - Lowman launches us into the life and work of a field scientist and ecologist. She also offers hope, specific plans, and recommendations for action; despite devastation across the world, we can still make an immediate and lasting impact against climate change. A blend of memoir and fieldwork, \u003cspan style=\"font-style:italic;\"\u003eThe Arbornaut\u003c\/span\u003e is for fans of Hope Jahren's Lab Girl and the work of E. O. Wilson, Jane Goodall, Robert MacFarlane, and Helen MacDonald.\n\nCome live among scientists and travel the world (even in a hot-air balloon)! \u003cspan style=\"font-style:italic;\"\u003eThe Arbornaut\u003c\/span\u003e is the engrossing story of how a nerdy tree climber and the only girl at the science fair grew into an inspiring innovator and international leader.","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unw","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49819843952888,"sku":"EB_SC0900_B13-05_SYDNEY","price":36.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781760876791-1.jpg?v=1783739451","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781760876791","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
