Summary
These 21 true stories remind us we live in a world filled with wonders! The locations are marvelous: a man-eating lake, the forest home of a three-eyed cannibal, the first labyrinth, a portal to the Uncanny Valley, the perfect site for watching eagle sex... Even better, the author's interactions with local people raise all kinds of interesting questions, about free will, domestication, compressing time, body image, extinction, memento mori, and rewriting history, for starters. For anyone longing to get back out into the world, these stories are almost as good as a plane ticket! They'll bring you the very best of travel: steeping in the terroir of new places; connecting more deeply to people, food and wildlife; and expanding our well of human understanding
