The Mammoth Book of Travel in Dangerous Places: South America
Author: John Keay
Publisher: Robinson
ISBN: 1472100093
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
Eating Dirt in Venezuela - Alexander von Humboldt Geographer, geologist, naturalist, anthropologist, physician and philosopher, Baron von Humboldt brought to exploration a greater range of enquiry than any contemporary. Also an indomitable traveller, particularly in the Orinoco/Amazon basin (1799-1804), he often invited danger but always in the cause of scientific observation. The interest of his narratives therefore lies primarily in the author's insatiable curiosity and in the erudition that allowed him to generalize from his observations. A classic example is his ever deadpan disquisition on earth-eating. It occurs in the middle of a hair-raising account of descending the Orinoco in Venezuela. Iron Rations in Amazonia - Henry Savage Landor Bar Antarctica, Everest and the Empty Quarter, twentieth-century explorers have largely had to contrive their challenges. Landor went one better and contrived the hazards. From Japan, Korea, Central Asia, Tibet, and Africa he returned, always alone, with ever more improbable claims and ever more extravagant tales. The climax came in 1911 with Across Unknown South America, the sort of book that gave exploration a bad name. His route, irrelevant and seldom "unknown", nevertheless demanded superhuman powers of endurance as when the expedition marched without food for fifteen days. The Discovery of Machu Picchu - Hiram Bingham Just when it seemed as if all the "forbidden cities" had been entered and the "lost civilisations" found, there occurred one of the most sensational discoveries in the history of travel. Hiram Bingham, the son of missionary parents in Hawaii, was a lecturer in Latin American history at Yale and Berkeley who devoted his vocations to retracing the routes of Spanish conquest and trade in Columbia and Peru. He was drawn to the high Andes near Cuzco and to the awesome gorges of the Urubamba River by rumours about the existence there of the lost capital and last retreat of the Incas. Machu Picchu was neither; but it richly rewarded his heroic endeavour in reaching it. After excavation by Bingham in 1912 and 1915, it was revealed as the best preserved of the Inca cities and South America's most impressive site.

Left Handed, Son of Old Man Hat
Author: Left Handed
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496206231
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
With a simplicity as disarming as it is frank, Left Handed tells of his birth in the spring of 1868 “when the cottonwood leaves were about the size of [his] thumbnail,” of family chores such as guarding the sheep near the hogan, and of his sexual awakening. As he grows older, his account turns to life in the open: nomadic cattle-raising, farming, trading, communal enterprises, tribal dances and ceremonies, lovemaking, and marriage. As Left Handed grows in understanding and stature, the accumulated wisdom of his people is revealed to him. He learns the Navajo lifeway, which is founded on the principles of honesty, foresightedness, and self-discipline. The style of the narrative is almost biblical in its rhythms, but biblical, too, in many respects, is the traditional way of life it recounts.

Molasses Bread & Tea
Author: John Christopher
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412095751
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
John P Christopher offers a textural account of life and work among the recently resettled Inuit people of Whale Cove, Hudson Bay 1962, where he was studying beluga whale population dynamics. He also gives a carefully balanced tale of life aboard a Norwegian/Canadian seal hunter the MV Theron, as it pursues its grim work among the ice floes off Labrador and Newfoundland. The following are some of the comments that its release brought from magazine editors and well known authors: "I enjoyed it and am flattered that you should send it to me for Publication." Alexander Goldsmith Editor, Geographical Magazine, (official magazine of the Royal Geographical Society London UK). And: "John Christopher reads (and sings) from his arctic memoir Molasses Bread and Tea." "Ten Great Things To Do In Toronto" The North Toronto Post Magazine (Toronto On Canada) I am just back from Peru. Thanks for writing. In just a few lines from Molasses Bread and Tea you painted a heartbreaking image that obviously still feels vivid for you.Thanks for sharing, though it's a disturbing little window on a wider world of inflicted pain. Carl Carl Safina. Marine Ecologist and critically acclaimed best- selling author. (Song for the Blue Ocean, Beyond Words and Voyage of the Turtle). And: Many thanks for the wonderful stories in Molasses Bread and Tea from your time aboard the M V Theron, which I found most interesting. Stephen Stephen Haddelsey. (Shackleton's Dream: Fuchs, Hillary and the Crossing of Antarctica).
