Recenzii
“There is currently a lack of knowledge available to a nonspecialist audience. In this sense, Geo-trekking in Ethiopia’s Tropical Mountains is an excellent resource to fill some of these gaps, though better suited for specialist audiences. This geo-guide provides an in-depth description of the geodiversity of Dogu’a Tembien and, as such, is a unique resource for those interested in the breadth and depth of the region’s geography.” (Paula Novo, Mountain Research and Development, Vol. 41 (1), February, 2021)
