Acerca del autor

Tim Flannery is an internationally acclaimed scientist, explorer and conservationist. His books include the definitive ecological histories of Australia (The Future Eaters) and North America (The Eternal Frontier), Throwim Way Leg, A Gap in Nature and Astonishing Animals.

As a field zoologist he has discovered and named more than thirty new species of mammals (including two tree-kangaroos) and at 34 he was awarded the Edgeworth David Medal for Outstanding Research. His pioneering work in New Guinea prompted Sir David Attenborough to put him in the league of the world's great explorers and the writer Redmond O'Hanlon to remark, "He's discovered more new species than Charles Darwin."

He is a regular contributor to The New York Review and The Times Literary Supplement. He received a Centenary of Federation Medal for his service to Australian science and in 2002 he became the first environmentalist to deliver the Australia Day address to the nation.

Tim Flannery spent a year as professor of Australian studies at Harvard, where he taught in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. He is also a familiar voice on ABC Radio, NPR and the BBC for more than a decade. He lives in Adelaide, Australia where he is Director of the South Australian Museum and Professor at the University of Adelaide.
