【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Head Hunters of the Amazon【電子書籍】[ F. W. Up de Graff ]

＜p＞IT is not given to many of us to wander through the waste places of the earth, and too often the explorer leaves no written record of his experiences. Mr. Up de Graff led an adventurous life in the region drained by the extreme head waters of the Amazon, and he was a keen observer of all that passed on around him. As he says, he is not a trained naturalist and the deductions he draws from some of his observations may be questioned by men whose life work is natural history, but any such criticisms do not detract from the value of the work. Anyone who has tried it out knows that three equally reliable men observing together a scene or incident, combining variety of action with rapidity of duration may make greatly varying independent reports of what took place.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Sigrid Carter’s life story is worthy of becoming a movie. This was true before she even turned thirty. As an adventurous girl in her twenties, she and three girlfriends from Germany trekked from Colorado to the Pacific coast of Panama, where the group of friends took a canoe into the ocean, got lost, and found themselves surrounded by sharks, just as bad weather set in. Somehow, they survived. The tide carried them to the shores of Columbia, where they spent time living with Indians. Further into their exciting adventure, they assisted biologists researching the Amazon rain forests. The chief of that US expedition later became Sigrid’s husband. A Peruvian filmmaker did, in fact, turn the ordeal into a television movie, but before the girls had the chance to see the movie, they were already in Chile, busy continuing the lives most of us can only imagine.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Lake Tahoe, Reno & Beyond【電子書籍】[ Wilbur Morrison ]

＜p＞"California's magnificent Sierra Nevada mountain range packs a punch when it comes to adventuring. Join local author Wilbur Morrison as he walks you along the Pacific Crest Trail and the John Muir Trail, through King's Canyon, up to the top of Mount Whitney, and swimming in Lake Tahoe. Offering tips on exploring this fantastic area alone, Morrison also lists local outfitters who can help you plan a horseback riding trip, a hike, a biking excursion or an overnight trek." - Amazon review. This guide, drawn from our complete guide to the Sierra Nevada, focuses on Tahoe, Reno, Carson City, Virginia City and their surroundings. Between Mt. Whitney and Lake Tahoe is the true Sierra Nevada, a land of granite, glacial ice and alpine lakes. Here you will find forests of giant sequoias, wildflowered meadows and steep V-shaped river canyons. You'll read about the local history and get basic travel information, from contact numbers and addresses for tourism bureaus and outfitters to airlines and rental cars. You'll discover the towns and attractions, including the best lodging and dining spots. The adventure sections are packed with detailed advice on how to explore the region on foot, on horseback, on water, on wheels and on snow. Carson City is Nevada's state capital. The city was named after the famous scout, Kit Carson, who explored much of this area. And then there is Virginia City, which has been restored to its former boomtown appearance, once the domain of Bret Harte and Mark Twain. By 1859, thousands of miners still sought gold in western areas where the metal could be retrieved from streams or hillsides. But the gold was playing out in most places and miners were desperate to find new sources. Miners had long complained about a troublesome blue sand that clogged their rockers and which they discarded. That worthless "blue stuff" turned out to be rich in silver and gold as well, and worth a fortune. Today the strike is known as the Comstock Lode. In the next 20 years Virginia City and Gold Hill poured forth silver as well as gold worth some 300 million. The silver mined at Virginia City was mainly responsible for the growth of San Francisco. Today's Virginia City is a busy tourist town. Lake Tahoe, one of the true gems of the Sierra Nevada, is only an hour and a quarter drive from Virginia City. The lake, with its surrounding mountains, is an unforgettable sight of astonishing beauty. Then there are the world-class hotel-casinos that provide excitement in Nevada's nightlife - MontBleu, Harrah's, Harveys and many more. Thousands of couples each year exchange their wedding vows here. Tahoe is a perfect setting because of its idyllic beauty, the ease of obtaining wedding licenses, and abundant chapels. Many vacationers, with no previous thought of getting married, are so charmed by the surroundings that they get married here. The perimeter of Lake Tahoe spans thousands of square miles of forest land, much of it open for hiking, backpacking and camping. There are hundreds of unforgettably beautiful parks and trails, many of them detailed in this guide. And then there is Reno, with its hotels, casinos and restaurants. All are detailed here. But there is much more to Reno than cardsharps, all-you-can-eat buffets and slot machines. Visitors will find abundant walking tours, fascinating museums and picturesque parks. This guide tells you about it all, with color photos throughout.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Sigrid Carter's life story is worthy of becoming a movie. This was true before she even turned thirty. As an adventurous girl in her twenties, she and two girlfriends from Germany hitchhiked from Colorado to the Pacific coast of Mexico, where the trio took a canoe into the ocean, got lost, and found themselves surrounded by sharks just as bad weather set in. Somehow, they survived. The tide carried them to the shores of Peru, where they spent time living with Indians in the Amazon and working for biologists researching the rainforests, one of whom later became Carter's husband.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A Peruvian filmmaker did, in fact, turn the ordeal into a television movie, but Carter professes not to know the title or release date. She has no time for such thingsshe's too busy continuing to live a life most of us can only imagine.＜/p＞ ＜p＞It was her adventurous spirit that led Carter to set up her agency, Envoy Travel, in 1971 in Lubbock, Texas, where her husband has established himself as an associate dean at Texas Tech University. Lest you think married life and operating a thirty-six-year-old business has tamed her, Carter kayaks every morning, and a few days after we spoke, she was on her way to a polar bear expedition in Churchill, Canada.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Whatever you do in life is a big commitment, so it needs to be fun," says Carter, who's been to all seven continents. "I love this business. There is nothing more fun in life than talking about destinations."＜/p＞ ＜p＞And Carter has a lot of stories to tellso much so that she landed the cover of Travel Agent in 1992 and in 1995 self-published a book, Travel Like a Millionaire Without Being One, which is being updated for a second printing.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Her zest for life is infectious. She personally runs select small group trips, leading people on a pilgrimage to Santiago, Spain, and taking others to the Arctic Circle to stay with Eskimos. Many of the local operators she uses have been discovered and vetted through her own travels.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"Wherever I go, I make friends," Carter says, who also works with such suppliers as Abercrombie & Kent, Butterfield & Robinson, and Clipper Adventures. "I went to India, and my goal was to experience yoga with the best teacher there. I checked the prices, and it was $850 a night! I thought, 'I'm not going to spend that kind of money.'"＜/p＞ ＜p＞She left for India and, on the way, met a yoga teacher who invited her to dinner. "It turned out that the family is the number-one yoga family in Indiaeven the Clintons have studied with them," Carter shares. "They live very, very basic, but the simplicity of their lifestyle is something that we all can learn from."＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】AMAZON?A Tra natura e avventura, un’esperienza di vita con gli indios Achuar dell’Ecuador【電子書籍】[ Pietro Graziani ]

＜p＞L’Amazzonia ? sempre stata considerata una terra immaginaria e fantastica, estesa e lussureggiante, incontaminata e simbolo di purezza e natura. Per chi ha avuto la fortuna di conoscerla e visitarla a fondo ? proprio cos?! In realt? ? anche molto di pi?, in particolare per un biologo-naturalista che riesce a viverla nella sua completezza potendo lavorare per quattro anni a stretto contatto non solo con la fauna e la flora, ma anche e soprattutto con una delle popolazioni indigene che la abitano e che rappresentano una delle poche ancora isolate geograficamente dal resto del mondo e per questo ricche di cultura e tradizioni: gli Achuar (il popolo della guayusa). L’autore, dopo aver trascorso alcuni anni tra Africa, Messico ed Italia, viene trasferito in Amazzonia, primo contatto con l’America Latina, e cos? pu? vivere la incredibile, unica e rara esperienza di vita con gli Achuar, con emozioni e paure che gli apriranno le porte della conoscenza del “polmone verde del mondo”. La vita semplice, genuina, naturale ed a stretto contatto con la immensit? della vegetazione amazzonica che sperimenta nel lavoro quotidiano con gli indigeni genera delle riflessioni attente e profonde sull’ambiente, sulla conservazione della natura e sulla cooperazione internazionale.＜br /＞ La lettura del diario, grazie anche alle numerose digressioni in contesti ambientali a noi quasi sconosciuti alla scoperta dell’Ecuador, un paese ancora poco visitato, permette al lettore di catapultarsi in un contesto naturale dal fascino unico e irripetibile. Nel corso della narrazione si passa dalla foresta amazzonica alle isole Galapagos, dai vulcani delle Ande alla coloniale citt? di Quito, inducendo chi legge a pianificare un viaggio imminente in questo piccolo paese amazzonico.＜br /＞ Questo libro scritto da un “non scrittore di professione” ? il risultato della passione e della esperienza lavorativa di un biologo-naturalista che cerca di trasmettere curiosit? ed interesse nel lettore, spesso troppo preso da un lavoro frenetico e da un ritmo di vita stressante, offrendo un momento di riflessione e riposo mentale allo stesso tempo, immergendolo almeno con la fantasia dentro la foresta con la pi? alta biodiversit? al mondo: la AMAZON?A.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
