The book describes 25 research expeditions in 21 countries. In its 336 pages it includes 18 maps and 51 color photos. Since many of the expeditions push beyond popular tourist areas, work with locals, and stay at places not in the guidebooks, the book provides glimpses of remote areas from an insider’s perspective. You may be inspired to visit some of these places, as a traveler or volunteer, or you may be content to visit them vicariously as an armchair traveler. At any rate the book will help you discover many new facts, from little-known geography and history to details of field research.
Whales, Termites and Dragons describes some of the author’s adventures around the world , traveling as a volunteer on research expeditions.
