Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Travel connoisseurs divide the world into those places they've been dying to visit or revisit and places they'd never set foot in but are glad someone else did. This year's volume of travel writing...focuses mostly on the latter with derring-do dispatches."--USA Today "If you missed out on some of last year's biggest travel stories, this book is a good place to catch up, but be warned: you'll pine for your own weird adventures, and regular life may become slightly more tedious." --Jaunted.com

"The writing in this volume is so vibrantly good, you'll feel like you've armchair-traveled around the world."--Chicago Sun Times

"The good stuff here is fabulous. And honest." --New York Times Book Review
