 A Journey Between the Orinoco and the AmazonTo undertake a four-month journey into the bug-ridden rain forest between the Orinoco and the Amazon requires courage and a certain amount of madness. To write about it as Redmond O'Hanlon does requires a scientist's precision, a streak of poetry, and a robust sense of the absurd. At once funny and genuinely terrifying, In Trouble Again takes us into the heart of darkness infested with jaguars, assassin bugs, and piranha, a place where men are driven to murder over a bottle of ketchup, and where the locals - the elusive Yanomami Indians - may be the most violent people on earth. "Among contemporary travel writers, he has the best nose for the globe's precious few remaining blank spots...Long may he trudge and paddle." --Washington Post Book World (3/90)
