      abstract = {Conservationist Flannery draws on three decades of travel,  research, and field work to craft a love letter to his  native land and one of its most unique and beloved  inhabitants: the kangaroo. 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 rainforests have shaped  human responses to the continent--and how kangaroos have  evolved to handle the resulting challenges. A synthesis of  memoir, travel, natural history, and evolutionary  science.--From publisher description.},
