Reviews

"An environmental activist, educator, and intrepid traveler recounts his efforts to protect the wilderness. ...Consumed by wanderlust, he traveled to 130 countries on every continent, including Antarctica, by air, land, and sea. Lecturing on a superluxurious private ship, he reflected on his peripatetic life: 'From hitchhiking barefoot and penniless in Central America to cruising aboard the largest and most exclusive passenger vessel that continually circumnavigates the globe, I'd pretty much seen it all.' ... A celebration of nature and passionate call for stewardship of the planet."
