Absolutely fabulous !

The Devil May Care: 50 Intrepid Americans and Their Quest for the Unknown

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

Just OK
I am a big fan of Tony Horwitz's work. Confederates in the Attic may be one of my all time favorite books. Having said that, I would not recommend this book. He did not write this book, and that is clear from the first page! This book is really quite dry. It reads ...
  
  











  



  
Blue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before
Tony Horwitz

Picador, 2003

a (mercifully) non-PC view of Captain Cook
In Blue Latitudes journalist Tony Horwitz follows in the footsteps of Captain Cook, beginning with a week working as a member of the crew on board a replica of Cook's ship Endeavor. I'd always thought of Cook as this stereotypical British officer, all his buttons ...
  
  











  



  
One for the Road: Revised Edition
Tony Horwitz

Vintage, 1999

I want to buy Tony a beer...if he still needs one.
As another American who lived in Australia for many years, let me assure any prospective buyer of this book that the author really gets the place. He started out like many, seduced by life in megalopolitan Sydney, thinking that the superficial similarites between ...
  
  











  



  
South Sea Tales (Modern Library Classics)
Jack London

Modern Library, 2002

Terrific Collection
London does not disappoint in this collection. His observations are as sound today as they were in his time. It was fascinating to see that London even experimented with science fiction in his story the Red One. Sean O'Reilly Editor-at-large Travelers' Tales ...
  
  











  



  
Baghdad without a Map and Other Misadventures in Arabia
Tony Horwitz

Plume, 1992

You'll embarrass yourself reading this.
This may be the best travelouge I've ever read. Horwitz has an uncanny ability with words, to paint the scene and make the reader feel like they are there with him. I felt myself transported back to the countries I have visited, and can affirm that they were ...

One for the Road: Hitchhiking Through the Australian Outback
Tony Horwitz

Vintage, 1988

"You may find yourself . . . "
There are constraints to Australian road travel - the chief one being that the cities, hence, the roads, hug the coasts. There are dangers, desolation, loneliness, above all, heat. And flies. It takes some courage to face these conditions alone, even in modern ...
