It offers some useful insights into reading tracks and signs in a way inexperienced trackers may not consider on their own. Compared to other tracking booms I have read, this book excels in story telling. The early chapters are punctuated with an engaging story that applies the concepts covered and breaks the slog that even well written books can become. The book gives pretty good advice on how to get started learning and practicing if you don't have an expert to teach you.The drawbacks are that the material is not very dense, and a lot of time is spent very technically explaining what is already general knowledge. Some of the figures are low enough resolution that the black/white doesn't communicate the concept, which would have been better served with illustrations. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent overview of the tracking process - very military *by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2014* David Diaz has given us an excellent overview (his own word for this book) of military tracking. Diaz took an exciting three day patrol by a very well disciplined US Special Forces team chasing infiltrators bent on contaminating a water source, and broke it into 4 or 5 sections. He wrote an excellent introduction. He inserted between the story's sections, explanations of the actions of the team, especially its 11 year veteran tracker, Badilla. He added a few excellent chapters on important aspects of tracking like: time since "Chase" passed, vegetation pointers, use of animal and insect species in the area, putrefaction times, examples of changes in feces both in terms of diet and of time. There is an excellent introduction to building your own tracking laboratory. He concludes with the military type detailed report on the mission described.The book is well written and entertaining. The details on aspects of tracking are very good and remarkably complete,. Diaz covers everything from being very fit, (various cardiovascular plus weight lifting pushups, situps, knee-bends, dips, chin-ups, and pullups, 3 - 4 times per week) to being well versed in the outdoor details of your area, to not smoking (it destroys the critical sensitivity of your sense of smell.).This is not a textbook on tracking. I think it would be an excellent book to give to novice trackers, as required reading in a tracking course, as motivation for intermediate trackers, and as entertainment for advanced trackers.While the cover of this book indicates it can be used for missing persons, and the book does gives occasional clues as to civilian tracking, if you are truly interested in looking for missing children, hunters, climbers, hikers, back packers, skiers, old folks who have wandered off, I would strongly suggest The National Association for Search and Rescue's text "Search is an Emergency: Text for Managing the Search Function" edited by Lavalla, Stoffel, Wade and Brady (last known 1995). It was produced and published by The Emergency Response Institute, commissioned by a sole source contract from The National Park Service, Albright Training Center, Grand Canyon, AZ. It has an instructor's guide also. Two more good, more recent and more available books, on civilian tracking are "Fundamentals of Search and Rescue" from NASAR (National Association for Search and Rescue) and "Wilderness Search and Rescue" by Tim Setnicka.The recommended reading list given us by Diaz is excellent and much more recent than "Search is an Emergency." Surprisingly, none of the above three books are included. I particularly liked his inclusion of the Tom Brown material, both the basic "Nature Observation and Tracking" and the very advanced "The Science and Art of Tracking." Several of the books Diaz lists are excellent for tracking of animals.Put into the above perspective, Diaz's "Tracking Humans" is an excellent and welcome addition to the literature. A good buy. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Heavy on the storytelling *by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2018* During my initial skim, I can tell that the author know his stuff, though the presentation is lacking. It's heavy on the conversational/storytelling writing style which is indicative of a first time author. Unfortunately teaching an art like tracking is an art within itself and can to a large extent can only be advanced through practice. Probably better off looking for military manaul or other free reference for self study. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/102787582-tracking-humans-a-fundamental-approach-to-finding-missing-persons-insurgents](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/102787582-tracking-humans-a-fundamental-approach-to-finding-missing-persons-insurgents) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
