I've Been Gone Far Too Long

In this hilarious follow-up to the national bestseller, I Should Have Stayed Home, 21 biologists and anthropologists delight us with the all too true stories of their worst days and nights in the tropics.

These unforgettable stories, says Nigel Barley in his afterword, help 'explain why fieldwork, against all good sense, is so habit-forming'. Read these tales and be grateful that you aren't along for the ride.
