While researching Australia's forests as a graduate student, Meg Lowman realized she could not observe the leaves in the canopy using any of the standard methods. So, she fashioned her own climbing gear and hoisted herself into the treetops to conduct her studies. Thus began her life as an "arbonaut"--and her advocacy for that world formed by the intertwined canopies of forests and jungles: that "eighth continent." In these memoirs, she speaks to us--as both a scientist and a woman--about her training in botany; her academic and personal triumphs and setbacks; her research into insect infestations and tree growth processes; and her designs for suspended walkways stretching hundreds of meters across sites in the United States, Ethiopia, Scotland, and Malaysia. *The Arbonaut* is more than an autobiography: it is an inspiring book for the curious, a manual of practical ecology in an era of climate change, and a journey around the world through spaces that no one had ever chronicled before.
