Voyagers
Lauren Fuge
From the beginning, we have been wanderers. Our explorations have rewarded us with land, resources, food and knowledge, but have also pushed planetary systems to breaking point—and still we seek new seas to fish, oil deposits to drill, forests to fell.
Award-winning science writer Lauren Fuge journeys from the fjords of the Pacific Northwest to the geology of outback Australia to the edges of the known universe, and asks: what drives our urge to explore? Can we find in our voyaging history the tools to reimagine our future?
Voyagers is an electrifying adventure, a compelling personal narrative, a hymn to the Earth—and a call to action.
‘Moving effortlessly from the immensity of planetary time to profoundly human questions about love and hope, Voyagers is a remarkable achievement.’
‘Fuge is an accomplished science writer with a literary sensibility, both of which she demonstrates in this intriguing book…This is no airy-fairy travelogue, but an activist’s call for us to stop and reconsider how we travel now.’
‘A beautiful, important book, charged with the questing rigour of science and the poetic hauntings of a restless spirit.’
