He was a precursor in the field of modern market research; he won the DSO for his World War II service in Borneo; he led efforts to save the orangutan, the green sea turtle, and other endangered species; he discovered the oldest modern human skull known at the time. This hugely enjoyable story of Harrisson's extravagant, controversial life offers a sympathetic and insightful look at a charismatic figure who offended as many people as he impressed at the twilight of colonialism on the fringes of the British empire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51893912174880,"sku":"NEW0824821998","price":40.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Yv8OFkaFL.jpg?v=1782011262","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-most-offending-soul-alive-tom-harrisson-and-his-remarkable-life-0824821998","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
