- Subtitled "A Canoe Trip with the Gods," this remarkable book
traces the author's trips running the great Usumacinta River on
the border of Guatemala and Mexico. He paints a remarkable portrait

The Quest for the Other, University of Washington Press,
1994
- "Ethnic tourism" in Chiapas comes under scrutiny in
this well-written tome by anthropologist Van Den Berghe. San Cristóbal
has long been one of the hotspots on the "Gringo Trail"
but never has one book attempted to explore the impact with much
depth. Published the same year as the Zapatista Uprising, the
book could use an update, but as is, it's an enlightening and
engrossing tale. |

Adventure
Guide to the Yucatan, Hunter Publishing, 2004
- Third edition of a highly-recommended guidebook to this fascinating
corner of Mexico, a region which the authors describe as "a big
hitch-hiking thumb." Their interest and hard work has paid off.
The book is loaded with hotel and transportation info, great maps
and interesting art work. Eco travelers will love this guidebook.
The Conords provide full details on kayaking, hiking, rappelling,
and camping in the region.
