by Barry Lopez
Finally, the late Robley Wilson at The North American Review, Lewis Lapham at Harper’s, Chip Blake at Orion, Stephen Covey at The Georgia Review, Sigrid Rausing at Granta, and Joël Garreau at The Washington Post, who published my early thoughts about Galápagos and Antarctica, and about traveling with indigenous people.
Steve Frost, Mark Tredinnick, and Guy Guthridge read critically, respectively, the chapters on Africa, Australia, and Antarctica. David Quammen also provided help with the chapters on Galápagos and Africa. I’m grateful to them all for the corrections and improvements they offered. Whatever mistakes or inaccuracies remain in the book are my responsibility.
