Review of "thick air - from bicycles to the navel of the six continents"

appears on the surface in thick air, an interesting book by a man who rides his bike at the lowest point on earth a written description of what he saw on the road. But only a few pages of the book you realize suddenly that the mining of minerals in this book much deeper. This is a book in which they are free to gather ideas about the human condition and learn things that could completely change their worldview.

Malus When Jim walks in some of the most remote areasEarth and the people she met along the way, sheds light on a remarkable intuition and their lives and their culture. Honestly, I care for people in remote areas of the world who never dreamed of. Malus was true people person, sometimes very loving towards me for what I have learned to live a normal life under difficult living conditions very carefully.

I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Honduras and I thinkMalus ability to reconcile with the culture. Living on the edge of life and I thank the information necessary to enforce the local population. Camping in the wrong place can be uncomfortable in accordance with alligators, poisonous snakes or worse results! First location information field, and if no action is more of a concern that passes is a matter of life or death. On several occasions Malus was saved by a delicate situation through the kindness ofStrange.

Beyond the cultural knowledge and description of landscape and wildlife makes reading the exciting adventures and escapes by a hair disaster Malus, the book as an adventure novel. Often I found myself thinking, Jim, are not in stock, can be alligators, or do not try to anticipate the storm motion on tyrants, rather than seeking a blanket. I went back and forth between the text and map for each trip, so I can follow their progress from town to town. I always felt uneasyand woe, as he rode with determination to the final destination. Several times I wanted to hurry and finish his mission before it can happen to a disaster.

Furthermore, the source of the spirit, sometimes funny and always thought that the comments on man's weaknesses and unique situations that the author met and you have a book that hits a home run.

Malus trips, camps run hurdles. For each of its six odysseys of the lowest places on earth, places of interestThe sounds and the persons present every trip a very different challenge than others. When the fields at night on the road to Death Valley, which shows that a small universe. Jim Malus is a universe, children in refugee camps stoned, attacked by dogs, according to the path of Moses, the Red Sea, the houses will welcome foreigners, and many other events that you reached that strength is his home. However, time and again shows that Malusis truly the master of his universe through his reflex response of everything that happens.

Take sunscreen and a cold beer and Jim Malus join an unforgettable adventure.
