Bill Bryson follows his Appalachian amble, A Walk in the Woods, with the story of his
exploits in Australia, where A-bombs go off unnoticed, prime ministers disappear into the
surf, and cheery citizens coexist with the world's deadliest creatures: toxic caterpillars,
aggressive seashells, crocodiles, sharks, snakes, and the deadliest of them all, the dreaded
box jellyfish. And that's just the beginning, as Bryson treks through sunbaked deserts and
up endless coastlines, crisscrossing the "under-discovered" Down Under in search of all
things interesting.
