Reviews
Praise for Tim Cahill "Tim Cahill is the working-class Paul Theroux. . . . He delights in finding stories too peculiar to be labeled merely off-beat." -The New York Times "Tim Cahill is one of those rare types whose fun quotient seems to increase in direct proportion to the diceyness of the situation." -San Francisco Examiner "Tim Cahill has the what-the-hell adventuresomeness of T. E. Lawrence and the humor of P. J. O'Rourke." -Condé Nast Traveler "Tim Cahill writes a wonderfully funny and observant book." -USA Today "Tim Cahill lives the life of adventure we all wanted when we were kids." -The Village Voice "Cahill's writing gets better all the time, his storytelling style evolving into an art form, his cracking-wiseass humor bevelled by every manner of nuance." -Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis
In his latest collection of death-defying exploits and far-flung travels, "Outside" Magazine editor Tim Cahill visits the side of an active volcano in Ecuador, the Saharan salt mines and the largest toxic waste dump in the Western Hemisphere. He also ventures to find a Caspian tiger in Turkey and giant centipedes in the Congo. Cahill is one of the last great intrepid journalists, and his thirty wildly entertaining essays display sparkling wit and unstinting curiosity. When not on the move, he debunks hoary notions of the kindness of dolphins and ruminates on religion, death and the perplexing phenomenon of yoga. Charming, incisive and absolutely fearless, Cahill is the perfect travel companion., InHold the Enlightenment, America's favorite and funniest adventure writer returns with his most entertaining collection of essays yet, as he travels the globe and faces down challenges that are animal, topographical-and human. Hold the Enlightenmenttakes Tim Cahill to sites as far-flung as Saharan salt mines, the Congolese jungle, and Hanford, Washington, home of the largest toxic-waste dump in the Western hemisphere. With his trademark wit and insight, Cahill describes stalking the legendary Caspian tiger in the mountains bordering Iraq, slogging through a pitch-black Australian eucalyptus forest to find the nocturnal platypus, diving with great white sharks in South Africa, staving off enlightenment at a yoga retreat in Jamaica, and much, much more. In these essays, vivid and masterly storytelling combine with outrageously sly humor and jolts of real emotion to show one of the most popular journalists of our time at the absolute peak of his game.

- a***e (135)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaIt is strange that I have to say this, but here we are: This seller posted a photo of the book they are selling and sent me the actual book from the listing. Apparently, this is a unique thing that someone would sell the item they pictured, because I have been trying to complete a collection of this Author for my Dad, and I have received 8...EIGHT!...books from OTHER sellers of different editions than the one listed in their posts. I cant believe eBay allows this! This seller has integrity.The Far Side of the World by Patrick O'Brian (2007, Trade Paperback) Very good (#386797825605)
