The Spirit of Adventure

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Explorers enter unknown and hazardous situations. Their motives and personal qualities are often complex.
Ralph Johnson has made such journeys to study the Bedouin tribes in Arabia, the Berbers in the Atlas Mountains, and the Indians of the Amazon Basin. He examines the driving forces behind exploration: can they be recognised and encouraged in the young and are they of any practical value to mankind?
