Secret Journeys of a Lifetime

My latest book was a coffee table style travel book. National Geographic's Secret Journeys of a Lifetime: 500 of the World's Best Hidden Travel Gems.

The 9 chapters are:

• The World At Your Feet: Stunning Views from the world's high points
• Last Wildernesses: Remote and wild places where nature exists in the raw
• Island Getaways: Idyllic hideaways, from the sunbathed tropics to the icebound poles.
• The Road Less Traveled: Classic road trips, quiet walks, and rugged overland expeditions.
• Secret History: Ancient sites off the beaten track
• Spiritual Havens: From Cathedrals, to mountaintop temples, to ancient tombs
• Hidden Treasures: Museums, houses, and castles tucked away in quiet corners
• Undiscovered Villages: Rural life, from the Indonesian jungle to the English countryside
• City Secrets: Hidden gardens and unspoiled quarters in the hearts of busy cities.

Each place is accompanied by a half or full page picture. There are also several Top-Ten lists (ex. Top Ten Markets, or Wildflower Displays, or Wine/Beer Festivals).
