Diary of an Amazon Jungle Guide: Amazing Encounters with Tropical Nature and Culture. Expanded and Revised Edition
I have only had the privilege of traveling with Amazonia Expeditions once, but Paul Beaver's tales of the jungle remind me to search my photo albums and plan for the day I can return to the wild and untamed lands he describes in DIARY OF AN AMAZON JUNGLE GUIDE. Trying to classify this book as a work of literary excellence would only be doing it an injustice. Although the scientist shows through, the science never overwhelms. DIARY is a fascinating glimpse into a hidden world that makes one feel as though you've just stepped off a river boat at Iquitos, exhausted, but filled with the wonders of nature and good friendships. DIARY OF AN AMAZON JUNGLE GUIDE is an insightful and real-world thrilling read. You'll reach for the bug spray more than once while perusing this down-to-earth accounting of life in one of nature's most wonderous of wonderlands. --John Warmus, author<br /><br />Your book is fantastic!
