Como cantaba Louis Armstrong, el mundo es un lugar maravilloso, lleno de pajaritos y florecillas, pero también de criaturas terribles. Cada año, 600 personas son devoradas por cocodrilos; 800 acaban en la barriga de tigres, leopardos y leones; 2.000 mueren a causa de picaduras de arañas y escorpiones; 125.000 son victimas de mordeduras de serpientes, y cerca de tres millones caen por culpa de los mosquitos. Hay medusas diminutas que pueden matar a una persona entre dolores atroces, arañas mortiferas que anidan en las piscinas y encima saben nadar, hormigas capaces de dejarte en los huesos sin ponerte a dieta, preciosas caracolas que disparan dardos mortales y hasta un simpatico pececillo, el candiru, que tiene la fea costumbre de meterse por la uretra cuando haces pipi en un rio. El mundo esta lleno de criaturas terribles y en este libro estan todas. OJO, NO TE ACERQUES MUCHO

Many a beautiful plant cultivated to deformity, and arranged in strict geometrical beds, the whole pretty affair a laborious failure side by side with divine beauty.A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf is the second book in John Muirs Wilderness-Discovery series. It is within this work that we are really given strong clues toward Muirs future trailblazing movement for environmental conservation, in such comments as The universe would be incomplete without man; but it would also be incomplete without the smallest transmicroscopic creature that dwells beyond our conceitful eyes and knowledge.Muirs walk from Indiana to Florida was conceived in order to explore and study further the flora and fauna across states. He undertakes this alone, a dangerous choice perhaps so soon after the civil war, as many characters along the way forewarn. Indeed, Muir is threatened by a robber, and we see a new side to the quiet, lowly gentleman we know as he springs into self-defence mode with lightning initiative and remarkable courage.This is not the only facet of Muirs personality that is uncovered throughout this journey. He makes reference to feeling dreadfully lonesome and poor, which is intriguing as his circumstances are self-sought: Stayed with lots of different people but preferred sleeping outside alone where possible. He spends a substantial period of time struck down with malaria, which does not come as a surprise; he was covering many miles on an unsustainably meagre diet with thirst often quenched with swamp water or not at all.Join Muir in Kentucky forests, Cumberland mountains, Florida swamps and all the elegantly described trees, plants, creatures and rocks in-between. A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf teaches us as much about Muir himself as it does the ecosystems in the wilderness across those 1,000 miles.
