6. The Snow Leopard The Snow Leopard
from Penguin Classics

Customer Review:
Thoreaux: Where in all the world is the literature that gives expression to Nature?
Here it is, in Peter Matthiessens's National Book Award Winning "The Snow Leopard". Peter Matthiessen is now a living legend, a prophet of ecological thought and a long time American Buddhist, but in 1973, when... more info

7. Falling Off the Map: Some Lonely Places of The World Falling Off the Map: Some Lonely Places of The World
from Vintage

Customer Review:

10. The Best American Travel Writing 2004 (The Best American Series) The Best American Travel Writing 2004 (The Best American Series)
from Houghton Mifflin

Customer Review:
The editor, Pico Iyer, approaches the 2004 edition with a clear purpose: to focus not on the travel destination but the travel experience. With the world becoming smaller and smaller, this edition shows how travel is becoming less and less about the destinations and more and more about how travel... more info
