Canoeing the Congo narrates the journey of Phil Harwood, who undertook an epic five-month solo attempt to canoe the Congo River in war-torn Central Africa. It was a historic 'first descent' from the true source in the highlands of Zambia. Just short of 3,000 miles long, the Congo River is the eighth longest in the world and the deepest river in the world, with a flow rate second only to the Amazon. Along the way, Phil encountered numerous waterfalls, huge rapids, man-eating crocodiles, hippos, aggressive snakes...

As a weary travelers who has spent 3 years in Africa and driven through the Congo myself I can relate to the redundancy of the local people. It was the most accurate description of dealing with Africans I have ever come across. If you can deal with this same scenario “give me money” a 1000 different ways than this book and journey for you!

A squirrel in the garden. A rat in the wall. A pigeon on the street. Humans have spent so much of our history drawing a hard line between human spaces and wild places. When animals pop up where we don’t expect or want them, we respond with fear, rage, or simple annoyance. It’s no longer an animal. It’s a pest. At the intersection of science, history, and narrative journalism, Pests is not a simple call to look closer at our urban ecosystem. It’s not a natural history of the animals we hate. Instead, this book is about us.

Amazing Conclusion!
Revisado: 01-29-23
It started so “Suburban Soccer Mom” and woke liberal feeling that, as a country boy, I thought I wouldn’t make it through chapter one… but then the author became so knowledgeable and fun and in-depth that I enjoyed the book enough to recommend it to everyone! Her worldly travels and effort to experience all walks of life were appreciated! She really did an amazing job bridging the gap between urban dweller, farmer and indigenous hunter that the conclusion came together immaculately! We can all do better with our wild neighbors! Thank you!
