Travel as a Political Act [Idioma Inglés] - Tapa blanda

Travel connects people with people. It helps us fit more comfortably and compatibly into a shrinking world. And it inspires creative new solutions to persistent problems facing our nation. We can't understand our world without experiencing it. Traveling as a Political Act helps us take that first step. There's more to travel than good-value hotels, great art, and tasty cuisine. Americans who "travel as a political act" can have the time of their lives and come home smarter-with a better understanding of the interconnectedness of today's world and just how our nation fits in. In his new book, acclaimed travel writer Rick Steves explains how to travel more thoughtfully-to any destination. He shares a series of field reports from Europe, Central America, Asia, and the Middle East to show how his travels have shaped his politics and broadened his perspective. www.ricksteves.com.
