Tim Cahill - Jaguars Ripped My Flesh

Beschrijving boek

If there was ever a traveler for whom the expression ‘been there, done that’ was invented, it is Tim Cahill. He has trudged up Mount Roraima in the Guyana highlands during the rainy season, in search of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Lost World. He’s uncovered turtle poaching in Mexico and harvested poisonous sea snakes in the Philippines. He’s flown into the eye of a hurricane with the U.S. Air Force Stormtrackers, and lived to tell the tale.

His fierce enthusiasm for exploration has taken him around the globe, and knows no bounds, reasonable or otherwise. He is at home whether briefing us on gorilla etiquette or the loathsome fate awaiting those who disturb the ruins in the jungles of the Amazon. In short, there are few travelers who have seen it or said it quite like Tim Cahill.
