Customer Reviews

Insightful view of the basic drive people have to explore.

Read this in college ('76) as an accident. Have remembered it ever since as an insightful look into what motivates people to move beyond comfort and to seek what is unknown. As Tennyson wrote, "to seek, to find and not to yield," or something to that effect. If you've thought you were silly for wanting to head off on a trip (hitchhiking or canoe), relax. It's a basic side of our nature. Go with it.
