Author Description

John Michalski started life as a kid who spent his time chasing butterflies and building tree forts, and years later found himself roughing it in the world's jungles and discovering species never before documented by science. Along the way he experienced life and love in the Caribbean, adventures in Thailand, Vietnam, and Panama, and encountered hardship and personal revelation in the distant rainforest villages of Papua New Guinea. This is the story of one person's brush with stimulating cultures and some of the most interesting and amusing people in the world of science--all motivated by a love of dragonflies and a passion for exotic locations, fascinating characters, and unforgettable adventures."Michalski's books have the elements of travel guide, history lesson and personal memoir all rolled into one, taking you places you'll not likely get to on your own. Settle in for a wonderful trip on many levels. Highly recommended!"
