    A wildly humorous account of the author's travels across Paraguay -- South America's darkly fabled, little-known "island surrounded by land." Rarely visited by tourists and barely touched by global village sprawl, Paraguay remains a mystery to outsiders. Think of this small nation and your mind is likely to jump to Nazis, dictators, and soccer. Now, John Gimlette's eye-opening book -- equal parts travelogue, history, and unorthodox travel guide -- breaches the boundaries of this isolated land," and illuminates a little-understood place and its people. It is a wonderfully animated telling of Paraguay's story: of cannibals, Jesuits, and sixteenth-century Anabaptists; of Victorian Australian socialists and talented smugglers; of dictators and their mad mistresses; bloody wars and Utopian settlements; and of lives transplanted from Japan, Britain, Poland, Russia, Germany, Ireland, Korea, and the United States. The author travels from the insular cities and towns of the east, along ghostly trails through the countryside, to reach the Gran Chaco of the west: the "green hell" covering almost two-thirds of the country, where 4 percent of the population coexists -- more or very-much-less peacefully -- with a vast array of exotic wildlife that includes jaguars, prehistoric lungfish, and their more recently evolved distant cousins, the great fighting river fish. Gimlette visits with Mennonites and theindigenas,arms dealers and real-estate tycoons, shopkeepers, government bureaucrats and, of course, Nazis. Filled with bizarre incident, fascinating anecdote, and richly evocative detail,At the Tomb of the Inflatable Pigis a brilliant description of a country of eccentricity and contradiction, of beguilingly individualistic men and women, and of unexpected and extraordinary beauty. It is a vivid, often riotous, always fascinating, journey.

    It seems hard to believe that it has been six months since we enjoying snorkeling in the Galapagos, but time flies when you're having fun. We also used our time there productively and this is reflected in our new and he hope improved edition if one of our most popular titles. This edition has three changes to note. The first is that we have updated the road network, basic though it is; the second is that most of the sketches that have graced the map for six editions have been replaced by photos, and the third is that the cover photo is one of our own pictures for the first time, thanks to Lan and a supremely proud frigate bird. Going to the Galapagos brought to our attention the importance of 'how' to do so. There are only two places on earth for visitors to leave from in order to land in the Galapagos - Quito and Quayaquil - so we've added large insets of both cities to the map to assist visitors needing to find their way around those cities before and after visiting the sea lions. Printed on waterproof paper.
