Review

This travelogue tells of the exciting adventures of this author/illustrator team as they traveled the globe over a forty year period. Their travel includes many extreme adventures that leave the reader shaking their heads and asking why anyone would want to go to such a place or do such a thing. The book is arranged by continent. Each section includes a number of very short (1 to 3 pages) descriptions of their adventures on that continent, making it easy to pick up and read a few excerpts. Captivating photos, illustrations, and drawings further engage the reader. This book will appeal to young adventurers, biologists, and anyone who would like to be an armchair traveler.

Overall Book Score: very good
