Abstract:
"Tom Harrisson ... deals with youth expeditions in general and the collecting mania; Ford tells of social life and party nights; Hartley of head-hunting and coming out of mourning; Synge writes of the strange beauty of the forests, of rare orchids, and of the art and craft of the people; and Shackleton describes his lonely ascent of Sarawak's highest mountain."--Page 4 of cover
