World Cultures: Bali by Jackie Chase (Paperback / softback, 2014)

The World Culture series of 12 books on individual countries gives the reader a taste of cultures that have existed in more remote areas for hundreds of years. They remain fascinating to understand. Adventure travel is t necessarily dangerous, but it requires some research and clear thinking about the culture, what survival means to those within it, and the implications for those who observe it and apply its lessons to the modern world. The observations shared will tempt the reader to visit other places completely different from their familiar routine, whether vicariously through Jackie's reporting in her books or perhaps as a detour from the reader's next trip. Each image tells a story and deserves more than a casual glance, for the challenges of living without modern conveniences have many implications for these fascinating cultures. The stories range from the sophisticated religious practices in Bali to the survival skills in remote areas of Africa.
