One for the Road: Street World
From Get Lost Books list of suggested holiday gift-giving titles comes Street World: Urban Art from Five Continents, a collection of street scenes that stretches from Mumbai to Los Angeles. The colorful hardcover is divided into more than 50 topics and includes over 500 ...One for the Road: Instant Gratification
Gadling goddess Adrienne Wilson hasn't written here in awhile, because she's been super busy traveling the world and...making a book! As she explains in detail on her personal blog, Instant Gratification is a first volume of photographs from Adrienne's growing collection of ...One for the Road: Bad Trips
Feel free to complain about today's pick -- a title from the archives -- but I just felt like following up a Head Trip with a collection of Bad Trips. Fact is, this semi-ancient anthology received lukewarm reviews, but we're going to feature it today anyway -- some of you ...One for the Road: The Head Trip
Here's a second creative travel-themed title from a Canadian writer featured here this week: Science journalist Jeff Warren takes readers on a tour of the mind in The Head Trip: Adventures on the Wheel of Consciousness. This "field-guide" to the mind explores lucid dreaming, ...One for the Road: Hotel - An American History
A copy of this book, paired with some room reservations at a classic American hotel, might be a nice holiday gift for the history buff in your life: Hotel - An American History is a volume of stories and illustrations that explores how the hotel came to be in this country. ...Liberal Housemate Wanted (Madison, WI)
I just saw this sign at Just Coffee (fair trade coffee shop) in Madison, Wisconsin this weekend and it made me laugh. It also made me realize it's been a while since I looked for a roommate. Apparently, people no longer look for housemates based on their inherent sense of ...One for the Road: The Geography of Hope - A Tour of the World We Need
From Canada, the Globe and Mail's Top 100 books of 2007, introduces us to Chris Turner's story, The Geography of Hope: A Tour of the World We Need, in which the author travels the world in search of finding hope for a sustainable future for his daughter. What he discovers, ...One for the Road: Globetrotter's Logbook
Last time I mentioned the Globetrotter's Logbook series, I focused on their newest guide, a niche book devoted to six Flemish cities. But now that I've had a chance to personally use their flagship product, Counties of the World, I wanted to be sure to pay special tribute to ...One for the Road: Notable African Explorers - Stanley, Hatton and Mahoney
The New York Times just released its list of 100 Notable Books of 2007. Although we previously mentioned notable selection Down the Nile by Rosemary Mahoney, two other adventure-themed titles on the list caught my eye: The first is Stanley - The Impossible Life of Africa's ...One for the Road: Don Quixote vs. Donkey Xote
Even though this book about Don Quixote was released last year, I thought now was an appropriate time to mention it, since the first animated version of the famous novel will debut in Spain this week. Fighting Windmills - Encounters with Don Quixote takes a closer look at ...One for the Road: More Words of Worldly Wisdom
'Tis the season of giving, and since I still have a plethora of interesting links to share, here's another round of travel-related reading possibilities. These lit-minded travel topics have been gathered from the usual suspects, as well as some less traditional and slightly ...One for the Road: Journey Overload
My December 1st gift to you, dear readers, is a plethora of journey-related reading to welcome the new month. Instead of suggesting just one book today, I'll start off the month with a whole bunch. So many of the links I come across on a daily basis simply disappear into the ...One for the Road: London - A Life in Maps
Let's close out the month with one final map book selection. London: A Life in Maps, similar to yesterday's book, is the result of a collaboration between an independent scholar and a major research library. In this case, Peter Whitfield teamed up with the British Library to ...One for the Road: Cartographia - Mapping Civilizations
Here's another smart looking map book: The Library of Congress and Vincent Virga teamed up to produce a special salute to mapmaking called Cartographia; Mapping Civilizations. It's a collection of over 200 maps that show how the world has been charted over time. The ...One for the Road: Red, White and Drunk All Over
Until I spent a month in Spain, red wine was something I generally steered clear of. I stuck to pinot grigio and the occasional chardonnay, even though I often didn't enjoy them. But extended travel through Spain, and then Italy, and then Slovenia and Croatia too -- and I ...One for the Road: Colour - Travels Through the Paintbox
This book beckoned me from a front table at Artisan Books on Gertrude St. in Melbourne's Fitzroy neighborhood. The 2006 paperback version I bought has the bold cover shown here, although I've seen several other versions of this book that was originally released in 2002. ...One for the Road: Mundane Journeys
I can't quite recall how I came upon Mundane Journeys, but I'm certainly happy to have stumbled upon the explorations of Kate Pocrass, a conceptual artist with an eye for the overlooked. Kate kindly sent me a copy of her new book: Mundane Journeys: Field Guide to Color. It ...One for the Road: Shaolin - Temple of Zen
Although this book is not about a particular travel experience, it reveals an intimate look at the culture of a place that most do not see firsthand. Justin Guariglia has been studying and photographing the martial-arts monks at Shaolin Temple in Henan Province for the past ...One for the Road: Crying with Cockroaches
South African born Marianne Du Toit had limited equestrian experience, but that did not deter her from embarking on a journey that would take her - and two horses - almost two years to travel from Argentina to New York City. Crying with Cockroaches tells the story of her ...One for the Road: Pauline Frommer's Costa Rica
Since Iva is in Costa Rica this week, and my pal Francesca is currently planning a January trip to this spectacular country -- how about another new CR guidebook? (We featured two new Moon guides last month.) This time it's Pauline Frommer's turn to take a stab at the ...
