 Adventurous trip to Africa January 12, 2002
2 out of 7 found this review helpful
Bill Weber and Amy Vedder tell us in a very personal way of their experiences made in Africa. The book covers information on what difficulties occur when trying to do environmental work in a culture that differs a lot from what westeners are used to. Also the political situation is explained, but in a rather unsatisfactory way. Bill and Amy don't have the answers, but they have a foundation of experiences and therefore I recommend the book to all interested in doing work in Africa or learning about it.
The chapters covering their time in the mountains remind of Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey, daily life at the camp is narrated in a very vivid way. All in all, the book touches many topics, but somehow fails to get into some depth. Still worth reading -and the photos are great!
