| Sommario/riassunto: | Vojtech Novotny - a leading tropical biologist - is based in Papua New Guinea, one of the world's last wild frontiers. In this unique and engaging collection of notes and reflections, he brings to life with warmth and wisdom the place, the people, the doing of science deep in the jungle, and the curious antics of Westerners. |
