Synopsis

Behind the Ranges explores the world through one traveler’s keen eye and patient curiosity. A collection of vivid, experience-filled essays, it pairs travel scenes with practical observations on a lesser-known danger: mosquitoes. From Salonika to Jamaica, the author shares misadventures, landscapes, and the curious science behind these tiny creatures.

This book blends anecdote with history, offering a window into how travel shapes a life and how illness has shaped travel. It invites readers to reflect on the lure of distant places while acknowledging the costs that wanderers may pay.

• Firsthand travel episodes across multiple continents, with striking scenery and local color.


• Engaging notes on mosquitoes, malaria, and how they affect travelers and settlements.


• Historical context showing how understanding of disease evolved over time.


• Practical reflections and hints drawn from years of moving between cultures and climates.

Ideal for readers who love reflective travel writing, offbeat health curiosities, and stories that fuse outdoors with everyday wisdom.
