So excited to share the UK cover of my forthcoming book THE TRAVELLER ... which is about a quite remarkable human being. George Forster, a man who tried to find what connects us rather than what sets us apart - he saw unity behind our diversity, not discord and division.

I'm excited that “Invention of Nature” is part of @johnmurrays classic series (with Jane Austen & David Attenborough). A new edition with a brilliant foreword by the even more brilliant @MerlinSheldrake

Today, 166 years ago Alexander von Humboldt died (he was 89 years). He changed the way we think about nature (describing it as a web of life) & predicted climate change. Can't believe it's been 10 years since I published 'Invention of Nature'. It's change my life. In so many ways.

Raiatea is the sacred homeland of Polynesians and Taputapuatea marae is where it all began. Hobbled through it with my twisted ankle but so glad I finally saw it #research

Hello beautiful Raiatea & Taha’a … and then I twisted my ankle.

Tauahi’ura - Huahine's mountains that look like silhouette of a pregnant woman on her back in profile (head, nose, chine, breasts, belly). George Forster saw exactly the same view 250 years ago #research #GeorgeForster #Huahine

Two images ... 250 years apart... this is the tree the Resolution used as their gangway in Pickersgill Harbour in Dusky Sound NZ in March & April 1773.

Hunkering down before the thunderstorm ... magical & eerie ... in Wet Jacket Arm, an inlet in Dusky Sound that was named by the Resolution crew after Forster and a few men got stuck here in a storm. So it feels very appropriate #research #GeorgeForster

That was worth the 27km hike. Queen Charlotte Sound where George Forster came 3 times in 1773 & 1774 with Cook‘s Resolution.

Queen Charlotte Sound NZ … it started with a downpour … and then it was glorious… following George Forster‘s footsteps who came here in 1773 #research
