National Geographic. Around the World in 125 Years. Africa

Whether it's a snowy trek through Bohemia's remote Jizera Mountains or a cruise across the Great Lakes on a cargo ship, the journey itself is the destination in the Road, Rail Trail volume of TASCHEN's Explorer series. First-person narrative and postcard-perfect photography will inspire you as you sit back and let the The New York Times transport you to both far-flung and familiar locales.
