11. [no image] The Cloud Forest: A Chronicle of the South American Wilderness (Travel Library, Penguin)
from Penguin (Non-Classics)

Customer Review:
Matthiessen's account is an honest travelogue of South America, dedicating much of its time to the Peruvian jungle. His narrative portrays a paradoxical mix of racial insensitivity, ignorance, enlightenment and progressive views. He refers to some cultures as almost subhuman, at one point... more info

12. In Patagonia In Patagonia
from Penguin (Non-Classics)

Customer Review:
When a book lacks tension and features extensive quoting, it's bound to be boring. This book is boring, and the main reason is that it lacks a narrative thread, other than "been there, saw somebody, told me a long and winding story about somebody who was here some day". All trips are inner trips,... more info

13. [no image] The rivers ran east
from Funk & Wagnalls

Customer Review:
This may be the funniest book I have ever read, precisely because it doesn't try to be funny, but reveals an incredible, good-natured imagination. The reviewer who is a biologist and worked in the Orinoco hit this on the head, "mishmash" is the right word. An incredible collection of odd facts,... more info

14. [no image] White Waters and Black
from Univ of Chicago Pr (T)

Customer Review:
I came across this book in a used bookstore back in 1972. What a find. Reading this story is like no other adventure/exploration book ever written. The humor and honest accounting of the ups and downs of the journey are astonishing and the tale is so inspirational that you may find yourself yearning... more info

15. Flying South: A Pilot s Inner Journey Flying South: A Pilot's Inner Journey
from Ten Speed Press

Customer Review:
This book revealed what Barbara was living, not editing out what was politically correct, not covering up the flying mistakes that would be embarrassing to most, not holding back on insights of strong dominate individuals in her life who can make decisions difficult in and out of the cockpit. In... more info

16. [no image] Exploration of the valley of the Amazon, ([United States] 32d Cong., 2d sess. Senate Ex. [doc.])
from R. Armstrong [etc.] Public Printer

Customer Review:
... but told in a much more stylish and readable manner. I bought this book on the strength of reading about Capt. Herndon's sacrifice in Gary Kinder's "Ship of Gold...". He seemed to epitomise the old-style captain, caring about his passengers, crew and above all his ship, and I was interested to... more info

17. [no image] Through the Brazilian wilderness,
from C. Scribner's sons

Customer Review:
Theodore Roosevelt was a man's man. A New York kid whose taste for adventure was sparked in his boyhood by a dead seal for sale on a Broadway sidewalk. Harvard student, soldier, Rough Rider, youngest President ever and one who survived the assassin's bullet, maverick politician, Nobel Prize winner,... more info

from Doubleday

Customer Review:
A comprehensive look at various historical and cultural elements of Latin America. I appreciate the scholarly, yet easy-to-read approach. Refreshing in its story-oriented approach to detail.

19. Footprint Argentina Handbook: The Travel Guide Footprint Argentina Handbook: The Travel Guide
from NTC/Contemporary Publishing Company

Customer Review:
We used this book for 3 months as we lived in Buenos Aires with few, if any, complaints.
Footprint has been writing its South America guidebook series for 80+ years. It is simply the most well-informed guidebook for this continent. Compared to Lonely Planet, there is more information packed... more info

20. [no image] Eight Feet in the Andes
from John Murray Publishers

Customer Review:
Dervla Murphy always delivers good travel stories, liberally dosed with history lessons. Despite all the decriptions of hardship, privation and poverty, Eight Feet in the Andes is lyrically written and exciting: makes you want to trek through the Andes eating stringy goat meat, which is saying... more info
