Chimpanzee Travels: On and Off the Road in Africa
Dale Peterson Manufacturer: Perseus Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 020140737X |
Book Description
A lifelong fascination with primates led Dale Peterson to Africa, which he crisscrossed in hope of sighting chimpanzees in the wild. As with any adventure worth retelling, however, Peterson's detours are as notable as his destinations. With the good-natured fatalism of the tested traveler, Peterson tells of trains and riverboats, opportunists and ecotourists, rain forests and shantytowns as he conveys the pitfalls of going forth on a budget as tiny as the continent is vast. Along the way, we also meet Jane Goodall and several other renowned primate researchers and caretakers. This is travel writing with a purpose, an account that inspires both admiration and concern for Africa's people, places, and natural diversity.

Customer Reviews:
I'm skeptical about Frommer's suggestions.......2002-04-23
We were VERY disappointed with Solmar. While the grounds, pool and restaurant at this hotel were nice, our room was awful. How so?
-A concrete slab was used in place of a box spring for our bed.
-There were several cockroaches in our room.
-There was no refrigerator, as indicated in the room description.
-Furnishings were very outdated, and unattractive.
-The drain in our shower didn't work, and kept backing up.
-Hotel management was unresponsive when we complained, in spite of the fact that we indicated we were there on our honeymoon.
-While Frommer's said Solmar's fishing fleet was "first rate", we found their boats and equipment to be very outdated.
The whole experience made me think that someone at Solmar must have given Frommer's a big, fat pay-off in order to get the review they were given. I couldn't think of any other reason this place would have been so highly regarded.
Ever since then, when I travel, I use FODOR'S travel guides - not FROMMER'S. I've found Fodor's reviews to be right on the money, and if I had taken their advice (staying, perhaps, at the Westin on the corridor), our honeymoon would have been a much nicer experience.
I hope you find this review helpful. If I can save even one person from the nightmare we experienced, I'll be very pleased.
Something for everyone--comprehensive yet concise.......2000-04-05

good level of detail about some events in US history.......2006-10-01
Great for a survey course.......2004-06-09
However, as much a richer source as this book is, it's not as comprehensive as a normal textbook, and essays at times seem biased. After all, the purpose of an essay is to make a point, and as such, may only be one side of the story.
Excellent Collection of Readings.......2000-06-16
