AUTHOR
SUMMARY
InWhite Waters and BlackGordon MacCreagh, with a wicked eye for absurdities, Gordon MacCreagh recounts his adventures with eight "Eminent Scientificos" as they set out to explore the Amazon in 1923 without any idea of what lies ahead of them: rapids, malaria, monkey stew, and "dangerous savages." A combination of Twain'sThe Innocents Abroadand a cautionary tale for explorers, this is one of the most honest accounts ever written of a scientific expedition.MacCreagh, Gordon is the author of 'White Waters and Black', published 2001 under ISBN 9780226500188 and ISBN 0226500187.
