Starting with a survey of one of the most inaccessible islands in Melanesia  -    Woodlark, in the Trobriands Group  -    that young scientist found himself ghost-whispering, snake wrestling, Quadoi hunting and plunged waist-deep into a sludge of maggot-infested faeces in search of a small bat that turned out not to be earth-shatteringly interesting.   With accounts of discovering, naming and sometimes eating new mammal species; being thwarted or aided by local customs; and historic scientific expeditions, Tim Flannery takes us on an enthralling journey through some of the most diverse and spectacular environments on earth.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44464427598043,"sku":"9781921758751-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/md31495902025.jpg?v=1700703716","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781921758751-secondhand-among-the-islands-adventures-in-the-pacific","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
