This is an excellent book for would be adventure travellers to start with. It has all kinds of excellent information on all aspects of "adventure travel", including travel logistics, cultural sensibilities(ie. how not to be an "obnoxious tourist"), health issues, what gear to bring, and how to plan your budget. The information does tend to be a bit general, but that is the intention to begin with. Once you decide on a location, you will definitely want to study up with more specific sources.
