.Along the Inca Road: A Woman's Journey into an Ancient Empire City Travel Guides > Books > South America by: Karin Muller September 01, 2000 The strange thing about this book is that theoretically everything's fine about it - looking for and at the remains of a fascinating culture, the author taking part in the local rituals and daily life, writing of acceptable quality. It should be grand - and still I don't like it for some reason. What made this book quite tiresome was Karin Muller's lack of a sense of humor. It is my firm belief that it is very hard to write a breathtaking book about a difficult journey without being able to see the funny side of different situations. Perhaps that was why I can't say I like the author as a person - and since this book is based on her personal experiences, that itself takes away from the fun of reading this book. Also - as another ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Along the Inca Road: A Woman's Journey into an Ancient Empire |

.Lonely Planet Trekking in the Patagonian Andes City Travel Guides > Books > South America by: Clem Lindenmayer 1992-04 Like all Lonely Planet guides, Trekking in Patagonia is very much geared to independent trekkers. Considering how huge Patagonia is, the book covers it pretty thoroughly with a wide range of suggestions, from easy short walks right up to a few week-long ones. The text is strong on practical information like local transportation and accommodation and supplies wide coverage to flora and fauna, which is a real bonus. Patagonia's five regions are arranged in chapters that go from north to south which the way most foreigners seem to travel. The information is set out very logically, with tables of routes and a small info box at the start of each walk so you know what to expect. I liked the book's simple but correct contoured maps that are given ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Lonely Planet Trekking in the Patagonian Andes |

.Attending marvels : a Patagonian journal City Travel Guides > Books > South America by: George Gaylord Simpson January 01, 1965 I bought this books years ago at an estate sale of a anthro. prof. at a local college. Estate and garage sales are a fantastic source of cheap books. I agree with the criticism of the Eurocentric attitudes, but hey Bernal Diaz had even harsher attitudes in his Conquest of New Spain - and that book is still worth reading. I often recommend this book to friends . If I had only been aware that it was out of print I would have held on to it. Time to look for another copy........... >>See More Reviews & Details on Attending marvels : a Patagonian journal |
