Sculpted by glaciers and defined by the striking interplay of coastlines and mountain ranges, Australasia is a place of remarkable human and ecological history. In The Future Eaters, acclaimed scientist and explorer Tim Flannery investigates the impact Aboriginal, Māori, Polynesian, and European settlers have had on the region’s flora, fauna, and landscapes over tens of thousands of years. A more contemporary perspective unfolds in Patrice LaVigne’s Between Each Step, a vivid memoir that chronicles her 2,000-mile trek along New Zealand’s Te Araroa Trail with her husband, immersing readers in Kiwi culture, breathtaking scenery, and the rigors and rewards of long-distance travel.
