"Though most famous for his road trips around the U.S., acclaimed travel writer William Least Heat-Moon, author of the modern classic Blue Highways, ranges further in this collection of 30 essays written over the course of 30 years. Visiting Japan, England, Wales, Italy, New Zealand, and other distant locales as well as places closer to home, Heat-Moon once again offers readers thought-provoking observations and lyrical writing. Though many of the pieces were previously published in other forms in magazines, Heat-Moon has taken control of the editorial reins here, rearranging words and restoring deleted sections from the original versions. This is a must-read for his many fans - and it provides a great introduction for those new to his writing."
