- Summary:
-
"From the beginning, we have been wanderers. Our explorations have rewarded us with land, resources, food and knowledge, but have also pushed planetary systems to breaking point-and still we seek new seas to fish, oil deposits to drill, forests to fell. Award-winning science writer Lauren Fuge journeys from the fjords of the Pacific Northwest to the geology of outback Australia to the edges of the known universe, and asks: what drives our urge to explore? Can we find in our voyaging history the tools to reimagine our future? Voyagers is an electrifying adventure, a compelling personal narrative, a hymn to the Earth-and a call to action."-- publisher.
