Inhaltsangabe

Over the last 20 years, writer and filmmaker Jon Bowermaster has profiled, traveled with, written with and about a wide cross-section of the world's most interesting environmentalists, explorers and professional wanderers. Whether roaming the plains of Kenya with Peter Beard or dog sledding in the high Arctic with Sir Richard Branson, from fishing and rafting with Bobby Kennedy Jr. to a bedside interview with Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai, from sailing across the Atlantic Ocean with Frenchman Titouan Lamazou to traversing the Bronx Zoo with George Schaller, Bowermaster gives us a one-of-a-kind look at environmental policy and global exploration around the world today.
Bowermaster has explored the remote corners of the world and the state of the globe's environment for a variety of national and international publications. A six-time grantee of the National Geographic Expeditions Council, he is the author of nine books and has made a dozen documentary films about his own expeditions. Begun in 1998, his ten-year-long OCEANS 8 project, which took him and his teams around the world by sea kayak one continent at a time, provided a unique, sea-level look at both the health of the world's oceans and the lives of people who depend on them.
