- Reviews
"In contemplating a single word to use in describing this work, this reviewer had come up with "amazing," only to discover on the book's back cover that eminent biologist E. O. Wilson had used the same adjective. Highly recommended."--Choice
"When not busy with his researches (and
these are recounted with a winningly light touch), Novotny has found time to explore this unique culture. The results are spectacular: an exercise in
witty and whimsical amateur anthropology that puts the professionals to shame."--Geographical
"What is striking about Notebooks is how there is
a perfect balance between the academic and the literary. This is a very intriguing book with thoughtful and intelligent analysis and conclusions, and
yet one does not feel as though they are reading a stuffy academic publication. Czech author Vojtech Novotny (translated by David Short) has provided
a very interesting tale of travels, broadening horizons and insight unto the human condition." -- Sacramento
