My new book about soil dispersion in West Burma.
September 16th, 2008
I’ve recently bought some books from Amazon.com as part of the research for my new book. To keep with the theme of travelling with the original 1975 Lonely Planet ‘Southeast Asia on a Shoestring’ I got these books (for historical, political, economical and environmental information) because they were all published between 1973 and 1975. The only problem about buying books on Amazon without a description, though, is that there is always a chance you’ll get a dud. Three of the books I purchased are great and I’ll get lots of interesting facts from them, but I might have a bit of trouble using anything from ’South East Asia’ by EHG Dobby. The entire book is about soil dispersion – or something similar. Then again I could write some riveting chapters on ‘The development of concave profiles typical of the Sundra platform in the Bentong valley’ or ‘A physiographic sketch of mean annual rainfall in Goenong Oengaran’.
