Best Travel writing 2010

The Best Travel Writing 2010 is the seventh volume in the annual Travelers’ Tales series launched in 2004 to celebrate the world’s best travel writing—from Nobel Prize winners to emerging new writers. These 29 stories cover the globe, from exploring the mysteries of superstition in Cameroon to taking adopted children to Korea on a Homeland Tour to traveling solo in Panama's forbidding Darien jungle. The points of view and perspectives are global, and themes encompass high adventure, spiritual growth, romance, hilarity and misadventure, service to humanity, and encounters with exotic cuisine. Read the Introduction by William Dalrymple, the Publisher's Preface by James O'Reilly, and a sample chapter, "A Viking Repast" by Cameron M. Smith.
