In practical steps, Why Travel Matters demonstrates ways we can go beyond mere tourism to become enlightened participants in new places everywhere. For all travellers - not to mention interculturalists - this book is a must.
The farther I got into this book, the more I wished I had read it 50 years ago. Invaluable.
For those who have truly travelled, this is a warm, familiar tale; for those who only tour or sit at home, this may be the spark needed to whet one's wanderlust.
A philosophical and anthropological exploration of how the act of travelling alters the traveller.
A highly intelligent and deeply engaging book that examines not only the beauty but also the importance of travel.
