"The Other Side of the World is a perfect size and heft for those who take their pleasure
seriously and enjoy a good book in every sense of the word."
|
These fascinating essays and stories invite readers to join author Bill
Eddy in exploring far-off places and unfamiliar cultures.
He leads us as well to distant times in history and to other
landscapes of the mind where his unusual perspective will
challenge many of the habits of our thinking.
As he introduces us to a remarkable diversity of subjects and
ideas, ranging from the navigational skills of camel caravans in
the deserts of southern Tunisia to the ways in which verbal
metaphors shape human thought, we are asked to reconsider our
entire relationship to the natural environment.
By the time we arrive at the end of this thoughtful journey,
our view of "the other side of the world" will have
taken on a very different meaning.
