Synopsis
Looking For Adventure is the gripping, inspiring story of how Steve Backshall realised his childhood ambition of being an explorer. A visit to a museum as a boy prompted a lifelong fascination with Papua New Guinea, on of the world's last great unexplored wildernesses. It was here that gave Steve was finally able to follow in the footsteps of heroes like 19th Century naturalist Alfred Wallace. Growing up in Surrey it had seemed unlikely. But, as Steve realised, anything is possible. As well as telling Steve's story, Looking for Adventure is a thrilling, page-turning narrative that weaves in the astonishing history, geography and biology of an extraordinary country. And it is the debut of an exciting new non-fiction author.

Softcover. Etat : Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. How do you become an explorer? It's a question every child has asked, and Steve Backshall was no different. After a rainy day visit to an exhibition of artifacts from Papua New Guinea, it was a question that began to obsess the seven-year old Backshall. But surely he'd been born a century too late? And yet through boundless enthusiasm, determination, and a refusal to accept defeat. Backshall was soon carrying business cards from National Geographic describing him as their "Adventurer in Residence." The vast, untamed wildness of Papua New Guinea was where Backshall forged his unlikely path. From crushing lows of early failures to the extraordinary highs of the BBC's Lost Land of the Volcano expedition, it was this dark island which gave Backshall his opportunity. Full of incredible wildlife, extraordinary wilderness, jungles, cannibals, pitfalls, triumph, danger, and excitement, Looking for Adventure is the irresistible, inspiring story of a little boy who let his heart rule his head.
