PREFACE
The books included in this bibliography represent the body of literature that serves, not just as a guide or roadmap to distant (or not so distant) lands and unfamiliar cultures, but records the impres-sions and experiences of the traveler as he explores a new culture different from his own. These titles offer narrative accounts of the authors travels, contributing unique perspectives on the many and diverse cultures throughout the world.
The bibliography encompasses travel literature produced from the 1940s through the present, cov-ering destinations around the globe. Titles are arranged geographically by continent, and where a title covers more than one geographic area, it has been included under each section in which it falls.
