Richly textured

This book delivered much more than I expected. The author is a scientist, not just a traveler. Each observation went several steps deeper into the biology and history than typical with this kind of book. The story was made much richer by these details. It is true that the vocabulary was a bit advanced. However, I never bothered to check the dictionary, and it didn't hurt the narrative. Highly recommended.

Extraordinary

If you enjoy armchair traveling, like superb writing and a good story - this is the book. Mr. Campbell's intimacy with this part of the world, it's history and the story of the people who live there, is beautifully told. A pleasure from start to finish.
