註釋Zoologist, Tim Flannery travels to Papua New Guinea and Irian Jaya. Whilst there, he meets skilled hunters and befriends a shaman. He climbs mountains never before scaled by Europeans, discovers new species and stumbles across the giant bones of extinct marsupials. He writes about the fate of indigenous people when their cultures collide with mining companies and the high-tech world of the late twentieth century. 'Throwim way leg' means to go on a journey in New Guinean Pidgin. It describes the action of thrusting out your leg to take the first step of what can be a long march.
