PublicAffairs 200 (GalleyCat)Scientist and explorer John All has landed a deal.

PublicAffairs, an imprint at the Perseus Books Group, will publish a nonfiction book entitled Mountains Melting Beneath Our Feet. According to the announcement, senior editor Ben Adams negotiated the deal with literary agent Bonnie Nadell.

All has carved out a career in extreme exploration; he goes on missions to study how different animals have adapted to the effects of climate change. For this project, he recounts his adventures exploring a glacial crevasse, surviving an attack from African elephants, and stepping on a highly venomous black mamba snake.
