Google Overview
In his greatest challenge yet, intrepid author and explorer Simon Reeve sets out on a unique journey to track the Tropic of Capricorn around the globe. Travelling through Africa, Australia and South America, Simon discovers spectacular landscapes, exotic wildlife, strange rituals and desperate poverty. For the Tropic of Capricorn crosses some of the wildest and most extraordinary parts of our planet. Motivated by a desire to learn more about the often forgotten corners of the world, Simon explores the histories and present-day controversies that shape the identities of vastly disparate countries, all linked by one invisible, 22,835-mile line. At the core of the book are Simon's encounters with inspirational local people. Among the issues he investigates along Capricorn are the impact of AIDS in Botswana, mining in Madagascar, the suffering of Australia's Aboriginals, bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef, and Islamic extremists in South America.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

The book had a clearly TV-kind of an educational tone to it, being part of a BBC series, but most of the time it didn't bother me as the journey itself was fascinating. Africa takes up half the book though and there's not much left at the end for South America, which would have been my favourite continent to read about.
