Rank: #592255 in BooksPublished on: 2000-03Original language: EnglishNumber of items: 1Dimensions: 9.00" h x 6.00" w x .75" l, 1.10 pounds Binding: Paperback336 pages 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.Breathtaking, humorous and poignantBy Ern WileyFlannery is one of a kind. He is to New Guinea what Perry and Amundson are to the poles, a first-comer .... one of the first to explore and document the stone age peoples of the mysterious island wilderness in the last days of its age of innocence.Yes, there are cannibals, with bones in their noses and gourds worn on their penis, yet Flannery somehow manages to get the reader to empathize with these people, to understand their foibles and traditions, and to feel regret that their ancient ways are going, going, gone ... forever. Take the chapter where he goes in pursuit of the Bulmer's Fruit Fly Bat -- you suffer with him the agonies of failure and the desperations of the search, and the exhilaration of success. Or follow along with his learning experiences among the native tribes and come to actually understand the hows and whys of the way the led their lives, even to discovering there were (to the natives) valid reasons for their rare acts of cannibalism.Although he describes some of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world, the reader comes to know that Papua New Guinea will never rate very highly as a tourist destination, but you'll have to read this book to appreciate the reasons why.Think you couldn't possibly be interested in such things Try twenty pages of this charming book; the images will lived in your memory forever.Hooroo, Tim! Bonzer yarn, mate!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Very readable, incomparable discoveryBy Brian AllenI'd like to add my vote to those that reviewed this favorably. This is one of those books you read that cause other family members to comment "can you put that book down for a second and look at this". And you will respond by "Wait a second, listen to this!".Flannery as mentioned in above reviews is no James Mitchner but his travels and discoveries are more novel and less attainable to those that would not put up with malaria, scrub typhus, parasites, hunger, miserable weather and a hundred other obstacles that exist in exotic Papau New Guinea and Irian Jaya.If you get this book arrange for some blocks of free time as you won't want to be interrupted. You also may want to have a map available as you journey along with Flannery.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.A great read. Highly recommendedBy shepA great book. Flannery visited very remote areas in New Guinea in the 1980's and 1990's, and yet he finds cultures only beginning to change from the days of tribal wars and cannibals. He has a great sense of humor. Well worth a read to get a sense of a disappearing New Guinea culture.See all 31 customer reviews... Guns Germs & Steel: Resources.
