Unforgettable Journeys to Take Before You Die
 by Steve Watkins
In this awe-inspiring follow-up to Unforgettable Things To Do Before You Die, professional writers and photographers Watkins and Jones
present a compilation of short essays and photos of 30 incredible journeys
they have taken around the world. Many trips-a horseback
jaunt in Botswana's Okavango Delta, an icy trek in Patagonia, a visit to remote villages in India, a five-day drive across the Sahara Desert in Morocco-are forbidding to all but the most daring traveler. Other
journeys, however, are more broadly accessible: a trip across the remaining original section of Route 66, a rail adventure from Moscow to Beijing, an architectural tour of Barcelona, or a back roads excursion through
New England in the fall.

Island of the Lost: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World
by Joan Druett
Swashbuckling maritime history reanimated by a noted naval enthusiast. Mystery writer and
nautical historian Druett (Run Afoul, 2006, etc.) does great justice to the saga of two large ships,
the Grafton and the Invercauld, both shipwrecked on the same remote South Pacific island in
1864. The first vessel, navigated by French gold miner Francois Raynal and skilled captain
Thomas Musgrave, embarked on an adventurous, intrepid voyage southeast of Australia toward
Campbell Island to collect a cache of silver-laden tin. Through hurricanes and sea squalls, the
Grafton reached the island, but a sudden illness and inclement weather forced the ship to
attempt a return to Sydney. In his journal, Musgrave wrote that on the journey home, the sea
looked "as if it were boiling." Swallowed by an immense storm, the schooner was pounded into
the jagged reefs of uninhabited Auckland Island. Its crew scrounged for shelter and food (sea lion
and bird flesh, pungently described) ashore, with a plumb view of the Grafton's rain-soaked
wreckage looming as a grim reminder. Through months of navigating rugged terrain, fighting
raw conditions and swarms of stinging sand flies, the castaways worked together utilizing wood
from the ship's hull to erect a cabin. Meanwhile, Scottish square-rigger Invercauld, bound for
South America with a crew of 25, was being ripped apart by the perilous reefs on the other side
of Auckland Island. After a year and a half, the resourceful Grafton crew built a small vessel and
sailed to New Zealand; the Invercauld crew, whittled down to three survivors, had to be rescued
by a passing Spanish vessel. Druett excels at recreating the men's struggles and desperation
(tempered by boundlesshope) with extensive quotations from their journals. She also offers
engaging biographical information on the castaways, descriptions of the island's animal
population and general historical detail. Depicted with consistent brio, stormy seas become
epic events

No Reservations: Around the World on an Empty Stomach
by Anthony Bourdain
The in-your-face, hard-boiled chef Bourdain (Kitchen Confidential)
delivers another entertaining look at the best and worst places around
 the world in which to eat.  The book chronicles his last
three years globe-trotting-"a continuing journey of 200,000 miles"-as
he's accompanied by a film crew whose "disturbing eccentricities"
make up his "new dysfunctional family" with whom he shares his many adventures. The bulk of the book consists of beautifully composed
photos of Bourdain's travels, "an honest and direct recording of the way
life is lived in the rest of the world." But Bourdain also provides many of his
always incisive and entertaining observations, ranging from short takes on
Singapore ("one of the most food-centric, food-obsessed,
food-crazy cultures on earth") and Iceland ("The notoriously stinky fermented
shark was, in fact, the second worst thing I've ever put in my mouth") to
longer looks at Beirut, cooks and "Bathrooms Around the World"
(worst country for bathrooms: Uzbekistan).
