Book Description
Author Jeannette Belliveau visited a dozen countries over the past decade. She swam with sharks, climbed a live volcano, observed a lion kill, fought terror on a Maya pyramid and started to cry on a horrific rail journey in China.
Yet her adventures are only part of a fun, fascinating book that looks at what the developing world has to teach the United States about the family, the environment, emigration, poverty, race relations and even etiquette.

'Amateur's Guide' has heart
1997/10/21
形式:ペーパーバック
In an era of travel books describing epic journeys and heroic and heroic adventures, it isn't easy to write something different. Belliveau's stories are very well documented and still quite readable. "We roam the globe yet lack insight into what we see," she writes, and reminds us to look with our hearts.

... is taken beyond pure experience and intophilosophy. Location details are told withextraordinary flair, but it is the stories about the people that are the most memorable parts of this book. Jeannette Belliveau has taken obvious care to visit some of the world's most exotic places and to bring them to a readership who adventures mostly from the armchair. She has done a great service in providing this book. Amy Cooper, of Small Press magazine
