Best Amer Travel 01 Pa
Travel writing is probably my favorite genre of books, and the Best American Travel Writing series form Houghton Mifflin provides the best of travel writing appearing in magazines and journals during the year.
There are a good number of stories that take place in cold, northern climes, particularly Russia, Belarus, and Iceland. An article about child kidnappings by guerrillas in Uganda is particularly sobering, but then there's the lighthearted story about tramps in the Czech Republic who ape American cowboys, Indians, and GIs. Volcanoes in Ecuador and a trip to Charles Manson's hideaway near Death Valley. Lots of fun stuff.
