In Trouble Again - A journey between the Orinoco and the Amazon

Author(s): Redmond O'Hanlon

Travel

An account of Redmond O'Hanlon's four-month trip up the Orinico river and across the Amazon Basin. It includes details of the natural hazards which he encountered, some of which were familiar from his time in Borneo. The diseases to be avoided included amoebic and bacillary dysenteries, cholera, rabies, hepatities, chaga disease, river-blindness and leishmaniasis. There was also danger from jaguars, vipers and the toothpick fish. The book portrays the ornithologist's insatiable quest for novelty, and the single-minded desire to find a route through dendritic rivers.
