Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Provides a lavishly illustrated journey into the shanty towns of Haiti, the jungles of Siberut Island, the wastland of Siberia, and the arid mountains of Mexico to learn about the mysterious roles of witch doctors, faith healers, shamans and medicine men.

Biografía del autor:

Benedict Allen has a voracious appetite for adventure. Traveler, modern-day explorer, a sensitive sociologist, he lives for months on end with only the assistance of remote, indigenous 'tribal' people to guide him. Pioneering the use of a hand-held TV camera, he has filmed his own expeditions for the BBC series, "Witchdoctors." His book, The Last of the Medicine Men, published in the US by Dorling Kindersley, accompanies that series. Allen is the author of several other books resulting from his adventures in the Amazon, New Guinea, Australia's Gibson Desert, and Sumatra, among them the best-selling Skeleton Coast: A Journey Through the Namib Desert and Edge of Blue Heaven: A Journey Through Mongolia.
