Description:The autobiography of one of the world's best-known and most deeply committed explorers.Robin Hanbury-Tenison's life has been one of extremes. From the comfort and security of his life as a farmer in Cornwall he has ventured time and again into some of the remotest regions left on earth, usually in conditions of acute discomfort and often danger.In this superbly illustrated autobiography he describes many hair-raising and occasionally hilarious adventures on travels in the Sahara, in the jungles of Central and South America, Indonesia and elsewhere, and movingly records his growing affinity with the tribal people whose peaceful way of life is threatened by encroaching civilization in the form of greedy developers, bureaucrats and intransigent missionaries. He has sometimes travelled on his own, sometimes with his wife and sometimes as part of a team: he led the Royal Geographical Society's largest expedition ever - to the tropical rainforests of Borneo.Robin Hanbury-Tenison's passionate concern for the future of tribal peoples - which led him to become one of the founders of Survival International - is powerfully communicated in this vivid portrayal of a life of exploration, adventure and idealism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
