Rich with historical narratives, personal recollections, reflections on politics, environmental debates, social observation, and practical travel information, this honest and opinionated book is a far cry from the typical sponsored travel guide. The author's idiosyncratic writing style and humor flavor the travel experience and impart a sense of immediacy and adventure, and resources for further information are listed in the back of the book, encouraging a personalized adventure.
