Bob Baldock spent five months in the Sierra Maestra of Cuba in1958 with Fidel Castro's combat unit, Movimiento 26 de Julio. While there, he was the only U.S. citizen from the mainland to see action in combat with Fidel's unit. Essentially autobiographical, Wild Green Oranges is a novel based on those experiences.
Are you ready to take a walk on the seriously wild side? In the early 1980s, John Pakenham walked a total of 1,500 miles, with a series of companions from the local Turkana and Samburu tribes and their long-suffering donkeys, around a lake in the Great Rift Valley of northern Kenya. Repeatedly beset by extreme thirst and dehydration, bitterly cold torrential rains, poisonous spiders, vindictive mosquitoes and the ever-present threat of bandits, not to mention a fatal fight between two of his companions, he was lucky to live to tell his tale. Pakenham's account provides a rare glimpse of a tough terrain and its even tougher inhabitants, where every day was a battle for survival. This is extreme travel that, four decades on, still packs a powerful punch.
(3rd Edition published 1996) Not a pocket reference manual. Covers most of the plants that can be grown east of the Rocky Mts. and from the Gulf Coast to Canada. Each plant has several photos plus a map showing geographic area to which it is adapted. Both common name and scientific name index makes it especially easy to use. No line drawings and no botanical gibberish, blunt, and to the point.
