Armchair travel

This is a fantastic book. A great overview if you plan on visiting any of the countries reviewed, has some "off the beaten path" treks and adventures. I particularly liked the chapters on the Himalayan ecosystems and Tanzania. The pilgrimage in Italy is also good. Actually, all the chapters are great - unique and different since each is written by a different travel writer. I couldn't wait for the next chapter to see where I might armchair travel next!
