"Everywhere Thomson goes, he finds good stories to tell."New York Times Book ReviewHugh Thomson believes strongly that the world is not as explored as we like to suppose. He has led several research expeditions to Peru looking for - and finding - Inca ruins, which he has written about in an acclaimed pair of books, 'The White Rock' and 'A Sacred Landscape'. His most recent book is The Green Road into the Trees: An Exploration of England, in which Hugh for the first time writes about his own country: 'An immensely enjoyable book: curious, articulate, intellectually playful and savagely candid.' The Spectator.'Tequila Oil' was a memoir about travelling through the badlands of Mexico when he was 18, while his journey to a usually inaccessible part of the Himalayas on the border of Tibet is described in 'Nanda Devi: A Journey to the Last Sanctuary'.
