Critics Review
“A Life of Extremes is a personal memoir of Max’s travel and polar filmmaking encounters with wildlife in these remote locations. Whether it be travelling eighty kilometres over ice to a lonely colony of emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsterior) or being surrounded by minke whales (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) frolicking in pools of open water, Max has a story to tell about it.” – Australian Wildlife Magazine
“A great book that inspires and shows the endurance and energy one person must have to do the thing they love most even when the risks are high… the rewards were priceless.” – Diaries of a Cheshire Wildlife Watcher
“His up- close experience of the Arctic and Antarctica also meant Max was early to the climate change story, addressing it years before An Inconvenient Truth woke the world up, sort of” – 1964 Magazine
