La arbonauta : Una vida explorando el octavo continente

While researching Australian forests as a graduate student, Meg Lowman realized she couldn't observe the leaves in the treetops using any of the usual methods. So she made herself some climbing gear and perched high in the trees to conduct her studies. Thus began her life as an arbonaut and her advocacy for the world formed by the intertwined canopies of forests and jungles: that eighth continent. In this memoir, she speaks, as a scientist and as a woman, about her training in botany, her academic and personal successes and setbacks, her research on insect pests and tree growth processes, and her designs for suspended walkways hundreds of meters long in the United States, Ethiopia, Scotland, and Malaysia. "The Arbonaut" is more than an autobiography: it is an inspiring book for curious minds, a practical ecology guide in times of climate change, and a journey around the world through spaces never before described.
