He performs oddly degrading acts, like plagiarizing school textbooks for grant reports and then telling his co-workers, or holding dinner parties and inviting people who hate each other. They do indicate that they are best learned by practice, but the theory at the beginning of the book is an excellent resource.They formatted the scales extraordinarily well. Though this book lacks detail of the therapy session, methods used, group dynamics, etc. Great book with a lot of inspirational and motivational power. I have never felt lost, or surprised, or unable to follow the guidance offered by this manual.2. Great. The brain is a wonderful thing, but you do need to give it some fundamentals to work with, and this book of scales are the answer.Well worth the cost, I would've been willing to pay more for this book than the $9 I payed for it.

Peter Allison is originally from Sydney, Australia. Passionate for the animals of the Kalahari, Allison works as a top safari guide in the wildlife-rich Okavango Delta. A hilarious, highly original collection of essays based on the Botswana truism: “only food runs!”
In the tradition of Bill Bryson, a new writer brings us the lively adventures and biting wit of an African safari guide. As he serves the whims of his wealthy clients, he often has to stop the impulse to run as far away from them as he can, as these tourists are sometimes more dangerous than a pride of lions. His safaris have been featured in National Geographic, Conde Nast Traveler, and on television programs such as Jack Hanna’s Animal Adventures. He travels frequently to speaking appearances, and splits most of his time between Botswana, Sydney, and San Francisco.

No one could make up these outrageous-but-true tales: the young woman who rejected the recommended safari-friendly khaki to wear a more “fashionable” hot pink ensemble; the lost tourist who happened to be drunk, half-nake. Allison is a skilled, funny and vibrant storyteller, dishing arcane bits of wisdom like an expatriate Alligator Hunter: "I understand a little bit of monkey language, and 'kwe' is a sound I listened for. From Publishers Weekly At age 19, Australian-born Allison headed to Africa for challenge and adventure, planning to stay no more than a year; having found work as a safari guide, he's still there some 13 years later.

In this fun, fearless memoir, Allison shares his experiences taking "guests" through the African wilderness, trips that often don't go quite as planned-due especially to the unpredictability of the animals around them. It was an alarm full blown monkey conniptions were reserved for leopards." A hilarious chapter recounti
