Críticas:

"What Mr. White is good at is finding the unbeaten path to nowhere and teaching the reader how to follow his example... And what he is very good at is evoking the scene once he gets there."--"The New York Times"

Reseña del editor:

White demonstrates by example in this collection of more than a dozen essays that thefun, the drama, the craziness of exploration--internal and external--is a singularlyimportant part of the human experience.White dives with great white sharks in South Africa, but his love and concern for his two sons, who are traveling with him, generates powerful and subtle undertones that carrythroughout the book, and makes this far more than a collection of travel-adventure narratives.White hangs out in Australia with the Crocodile Hunter, he writes about the late Peter Blake and the New Zealand sailing team, he jogs the Mayan ruins of Guatemala, and he battlesinsects in his backyard garden. He's the lead sledder for an entry in the U.S. tobogganchampionships, he explores Vietnam (and gets lost jogging in Hanoi)--and just as powerfullyexplores what it's like to reach middle age.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
