From the Peculiar to the Practical, Advice from C19th Explorer

The first abridged (and thus digestible) edition of a classic 19th Century manual for the backcountry traveller-its advice is both deliciously bizarre and surprisingly relevant for 21st century adventurers. The Art of Travel recounts Galton's adventures as one of the first Europeans to explore the interior of south-western Africa. His quaint advice on interacting with "savages," handling elephants, and stopping asses from braying will make you laugh. But you'll want to take notes on his instructions on how to find water in the desert, navigate by the stars, or follow tracks in the dark.

Authors: Sir Francis Galton 

Publisher: Mountaineers Books

ISBN: 1594850585

RRP: $29.99

Weight: 300 grams

Damage: None apparent.

“Hurt books” are books that have been returned to the publisher/distributor but are deemed to be in “unsaleable” condition. This generally means that there may be some damage to the cover of the book, or that there is a problem of that type. It doesn’t mean that the book is misbound or missing pages – just that the book is not in pristine-enough condition to be sent to a book retailer. It offers you the chance to buy excellent, current titles at a large percentage off regular retail prices. Any noticeable damage on the book or problems will be listed above in the description - if it is not listed then please assume the book is in good condition, with no visible problems.

Charges for posting:

I charge only as per Australia Post Parcel Post.

Please allow approx 100gms added to the weight of the book for packing.

 

Postal discounts are available for multiple purchases. You can email me with items numbers and your postcode and I can provide a quote for freight. Or after you have made your purchases I can combine and send through an invoice prior to checkout.

 

International buyers MUST pay with Paypal. Please check the charge for international postage prior to bidding.
