'Without doubt JBS, as many know him, is one of the world's most
eminent explorers' Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Bt. OBE For over 60 years
John Blashford-Snell has been exploring some of the planet's most
remote, inaccessible and dangerous places; his name is known
globally for his daring adventures and intrepid journeys of
discovery. Now, well into his eighties (and still planning future
trips), he has gathered together in a single volume a collection of
tales from Africa, Asia and the Americas, a mix of mostly new
writing combined with some old favourites, extracts from some of
the 100 or so expeditions he has led in pursuit of archaeological,
anthropological, botanical, biological and zoological objectives.
From the Blue Nile to the Darien Gap, the Kalahari to Colombia,
Blashford-Snell is one of the most experienced explorers in the
world. He has met with royalty and presidents, worked with Clint
Eastwood and Sean Connery, been on a quest to find a giant
pachyderm in the forests of West Nepal, led investigations into
Atlantis and even delivered a grand piano to a remote tribe in
Guyana! Mountains, rivers, forests and jungle have been his domain
and he has seen some of the most extraordinary places known to man.
If meetings with dangerous wildlife, stories of navigating
rapid-filled rivers and tales of encounters with bandits are your
thing, this new collection from a man who has become an institution
in his own right is an essential read. John Blashford-Snell is the
founder of Operation Raleigh and of the Scientific Exploration
Society. He has been awarded an MBE, OBE and CBE for exploration
and has received multiple awards from countries and organisations
around the world. For 20 years he chaired the British Chapter of
the Explorers Club of America. Films of his expeditions have been
broadcast worldwide.
