DON’T LOOK BEHIND YOU!: A SAFARI GUIDE’S ENCOUNTERS WITH RAVENOUS LIONS, STAMPEDING ELEPHANTS, AND DANGEROUSLY CLUELESS TOURISTS

Book ID/图书代码: 05170008B28962

English Summary/英文概要: Join Peter Allison for a riveting, rollicking, behind-the-scenes dose of everyone’s dream experience—going on safari—and coming through amazed but, thankfully, without a scratch. In Don’t Look Behind You, Allison recounts adventures few would live to tell.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: Peter Allison是个澳大利亚人,19岁去了博茨瓦纳,成了非洲野外探险游的导游,这工作一干就是13年,其中发生了无数令人捧腹大笑的小故事。Peter Allison将它们总结起来,于是便有了这本《别往后看》。
PETER曾在书中写到: “我感到敬畏,尊重,还有一种说不出来的感情。我以前所感受到的(远距离观看野生动物)情绪如同迷恋杂志里的某个漂亮女孩,遥远而不切实。而它们却允许我存在于如此之近的距离中,这使曾经的迷恋迅速开花成为爱情——所有感情中最不可思议而又危险绝伦的爱情。”
书中所表达出来的对一切生命的平等尊重让人总在笑过之后肃然起敬,也是全书的情感高潮。(Ruby)

Awards/获奖情况:Praise for Whatever You Do, Don’t Run:
"Allison’s infectious enthusiasm for both the African bush and his job showing its wonders to tourists is readily apparent." ---Booklist

"His misadventures make Whatever You Do, Don’t Run an absorbing read. . . . The material is rich, and Allison is a gifted storyteller. And the only thing stranger than African fiction is African truth." ---National Geographic Adventure

"After reading this entrancing memoir, an African safari may move to No. 1 on your travel wish list. The only catch is you’ll want the author as your guide." ---Chicago Sun-Times

Praise for Don’t Look Behind You:
"The best compliment you can pay a travel writer is to read his work and feel like you’re right there with him. For more than two hundred pages, I felt like I was in Africa, up to my neck in danger. I don’t even know this guy, but more than once I lay awake at night, worrying for his safety. Enough adventure, action, life lessons, and laughs to fill a movie and four sequels. The fact that Allison survived to write any of this down is a miracle in itself." ---Cash Peters, author of Naked in Dangerous Places and Gullible’s Travels
