Product Description

Review
These days, travel is an easy education and experience to come by.But where to start? This book gives a rendition of must-see places, designed to appeal less to the avid tourist and intrepid explorer than to the earnest traveller who will take time to appreciate the finds. The most beautiful, visually impressive and historically enticing sights in each continent and region are explored in detail, while useful tips appear in boxes at the side. Potted histories, facts, figures and anecdotes are interspersed with guidebook hints, leaving the reader reluctant to turn the page and move on. (Kirkus UK)

Product Description
This atlas describes the qualities of numerous global destinations to help the reader to decide where they wish to travel to. It draws inspiration and tips from travellers and explorers of the past, and includes a worldwide directory of national tourist organizations and other useful contacts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thomson Wintersun? Not Likely!, 27 Jun 2005
Having just had to cancel a trip to Africa I was looking for a book that would help me plan another trip to take its place. Unfortunately I picked up The Traveller's Atlas and can't decide!

The photography is incredible with some really stunning images. The book is divided into different regions (North America, Asia, Northern Europe etc) and gives ideas for dream trips to the most stunning parts of the world. Among the ones that caught my interest were a boat trip to Timbuktu, a trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway and a road journey from Rawalpindi north through the mountains to China.

Each little item is about 3 or 4 pages long and gives the reader just enough information to want to look further. Any greater detail would make the book unwieldy and would turn it more into a guidebook.

A great book that has some really great idea for off the beaten track journeys. I just can't decide which one to go on first!

2.0 out of 5 stars A bit of a disappointment, 15 Dec 2005
By A Customer
While the commentary is informative and gives useful but general information, unlike the previous reviewer, I felt the photographs were a huge disappointment. Most seem old, looking aged and faded and quality is not as sharp as a modern day camera would produce. As a book of this sort generally uses its pictures as visual inspiration to lead you into the commentary, I felt rather stumped at the first hurdle. Not a book I would recommend.
