In this case, however, the author goes on his journey because he's fascinated by realy life of Col. Percy Fawcett and his eldest son, who disappeared in the Amazon in 1924. In my opinion, Col. Fawcett is the real Indiana Jones - a really entertaining read.

"Neely's naturalist, erudite work will appeal to readers of Thoreau's Walden and Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire." --Publishers Weekly
This is absolutely one of my favorite non-fiction books ever. The author, one half of Preston & Child (they write ripping yarns!), gets himself invited on an expedition to find the Lost White City of Honduras.

Incredible connotations for us right now.

The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality.
