Reseña del libro "The Art of Travel: or, Shifts and Contrivances Available in Wild Countries (en Inglés)"

The handbook used by nineteenth century explorers - in the days when travelling was rough, and a man's life depended upon his ingenuity. Amongst other things, The Art of Travel shows: How to follow a track by night; catch fish without a line; organise an expedition; tan leather; descend a cliff; cook in the open; steer by the stars; and much more! Galton's engaging compendium of advice ('shifts and contrivances') to travellers and explorers 'in wild parts' went through many editions. Galton collected in it both his own practical experiences, gathered while travelling in South-West Africa, but also those of other travellers, continually improving it as new material became available. This, the fifth edition of The Art of Travel is seen by most scholars and historians as the most complete and informative. The interior of this new edition from Ropesend Creek Press is a perfect replica of the original. Page numbering, illustrations, layout, table of contents, index and any footnotes are exactly as they appeared when the original book was published. With this new edition, the book is ready for a new lease of life through a modern readership.
