Journeys to Impossible Places

HODDER & STROUGHTON £20.00

★★★★★

Not only is Simon Reeve good at manoeuvring in and out of precarious situations, but he is also deft at painting those moments on the page. Not everyone can evoke such deep emotion and build tension so eloquently, but Reeve writes a richly detailed collection of anecdotes that make you mull over the eroding earth and humanity’s role in destroying even the most far reaching and seemingly ‘impossible’ areas of our planet.
