All male animals, including men, when they are in love, are apt to behave in ways that seem ludicrous to bystanders. -Francis Galton, English Men of Science Galton's collection of travel tips, The Art of Travel (originally published in 1855) was so popular that this 1872 edition was the fifth edition. Galton was by then quite famous as an explorer. His purpose in writing the book was to teach other travelers the skills required for self-sufficiency that he had learned during an historic expedition into the interior of Africa. These pointers include: how to ride horses, handle elephants, and avoid cobras. Also included are sections on how to pull teeth, find water in a desert, and construct a sleeping bag out of fur.
