Great read

This is a greatly written book. For all Thor's sense of humor and eye for the paradox often shines through. We hear a lot about his obstacles getting his travel adventures accepted in scientific circles as real research and also get a side of Thor indicating that he is a very determined man. We hear about his romantic life and philosophy about he important things in life. A great book that will teach you not only about geography and archeology but will make you laugh and think deeper about life.

A real credit to the late Mr Heyerdahl [1918-2005], who is a real credit to Western Civilization!

The Norwegian born Mr Heyerdahl was an
athlete, explorer and writer par excellance,
who wroter twenty very good to great books
and this is his best. The greatest explorer
in our cultures history, I highly also rec-
ommend the books, 'On the Seventh Day' and
'Kon-Tiki'. Actually all his book s are worth
getting, provided the price is right here on
amazon.com or alibris.com.

Diary of an adventurous man.

To use Thor's own words...
"There is nothing for modern man to return to. Our wonderful time in the wilderness had given us a taste of what man had abandoned and what mankind was still trying to get even further away from. Progress today can be defined as man's ability to complicate simplicity. Nothing in all the procedure that modern man , helped by all his modern middlemen, goes through before he earns money to buy a fish or a potato will ever be as simple as pulling it out of the water or soil. Without the farmer and the fisherman, modern society would collapse., with all its shops and pipes and wires. The farmers and the fishermen represent the nobility of modern society; they share their crumbs with the rest of us, who run about with papers and screwdrivers attempting to build a better world without a bluprint."

All this author's books are GREAT reads! If you are a city dweller you will especially appreciate his adventures as he asks the question- "Were we meant to live in jungles made of plants or concrete?
