About Adventuring In

Product Description The Indonesian archipelago consists of over 17,000 islands settled atop a spine of more than 400 volcanoes. In the latest addition to the Sierra Club Adventure Travel series, Holly Smith provides a wealth of savvy and sensitive advice on both outdoor and cultural opportunities in this enormously popular adventure destination. From Library Journal Smith (How To Bounce Back Quick After Losing Your Job, NTC, 1993) weaves history, geology, zoology, and culture into a fascinating narrative to capture the beauty and mystery of this island archipelago. Indonesia is a destination not for the tourist but for the traveler. Smith covers the major destinations of Java, Bali, and Sumatra, as well as the less-traveled islands of Kalimantan, Nusa Tenggara, and Irian Jaya. She includes descriptions of dozens of treks for new and seasoned hikers and useful information on parks and reserves. Another excellent book from this series. Highly recommended for all travel sections.?Kevin M. Roddy, Univ. of Hawaii at Hilo Lib. Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
