A provocative collection of yarns, sharp opinions, and no-nonsense reflections from Australia?s best-known geologist, Professor Ian Plimer?a true larrikin and unapologetic sceptic. With a life spent straddling academia, the bush, and the corporate world, Plimer takes aim at political, religious, and scientific dogma alike. Drawing on decades of global experience, he champions evidence over ideology and isn?t afraid to ruffle feathers. For those outraged by a brief internet outage, his stories offer a confronting, often humorous reality check?and a challenge to think more critically about the world.
