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 not 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.
Author Biography:
Jackie Chase, a resident of Florida, released four books in early 2014, garnering 12 book competition awards in the Adult Travel or Children's Non-Fiction category. As a mom of four children, she has traveled in over 100 countries, either alone or with family, recording her observations with pen and camera. The reader imagines being on her shoulder, living behind her lens, and feeling the joys and fears of an unknown world around the next bend. She is an advocate of meeting new people and encouraging understanding of cultures unlike our own. She is a member of the Florida Writer's Association (FWA).
