About This Book

A series of accessible lectures surveys environments from Arctic islands and tundra through Siberian forests, Asian and African steppes to equatorial riverlands, combining vivid natural-history observation with ethnographic description. Chapters describe landscapes, bird colonies, mammal migrations, apes, hunting and fishing practices, caravan and desert travel, and the seasonal rhythms that shape animal and human life. The narrative moves region by region, contrasting coastal archipelagos and fjords with inland plains and tropical habitats, and emphasizes ecological relationships, local livelihoods, and the variety of forms life and culture take across latitudes.
