Arguing that for many people, the easy predictibility of civilized life is unfulfilling, this chronicle presents the remarkable stories of Africans profiled by the author during more than a decade of adventuring. With a cast of characters that includes the eponymous tree-dwelling woman, the man who circled the globe in an ultralight plane powered by a lawn mower engine, and the person who decided to plant a million trees, this thrilling collection will inspire readers to launch their own adventures.
