Title: Very weak
Review: As someone who's worked and traveled over much of the neotropics, I can say with some authority that this book was probably written by someone with very little experience in the field, in actual survival situations. The author is a physician who, it is claimed on the back cover, has made numerous trips into the Amazon to work with indigenous people. Sorry, but this doesn't make you an authority on jungle survival, and the book's emphasis on diseases, how to behave properly around native people, hiring a guide, etc. acts as filler to the last 15 pages or so of at least somewhat useful information. Particularly weak are the sections on finding food and water, very important information if you're actually trying to survive, and the section on navigation is pathetic. This information needs to be very specific as to what species are edible and what are not in different parts of the world, and the book does a terrible job in this regard. There has to be something better out there.
