<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In Why Travel? A Way of Being, A Way of Seeing, </em> Thompson writes about one subject as a way of exploring a multitude of others. With 40 years' experience as an insatiable world wanderer and travel writer, he guides readers in discovering new ways of seeing themselves, as travelers, individuals, and world citizens, buttressing his approach with personal experience, practical advice, arresting anecdotes and real-world stories. Why Travel?</em> differs from many a travel book in that its approach won't be obsolete in six months' time. It offers readers valuable direction, a renewed sense of wonder, and inspiration for their own explorations, domestic and international, urban and in nature. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Bill Thompson has an insatiable wanderlust. His new book Why Travel?</em> answers itself. And it also leads readers of this world traveler into his world. It is a fascinating place." - Robert Cox, former editor-in-chief of the Buenos Aires Herald.</p><p><br></p><p>"As an arts and travel writer, book review editor and author, Bill Thompson's experience and range of expertise is invaluable to me. He writes with verve, clear authority and knowledge." - Nathalie Dupree, James Beard Award-winning author and TV host. </p><p><br></p><p>"The wider the puddle of commentary, blogging and tweeting spreads across the American mediascape, the shallower grows the insight from which all worthy writing springs. Me? I'll put my money on Bill Thompson's bucket, drawing from a well saturated by his decades of curiosity, research and critical thinking on world travel." - Gary Smith, retired senior writer with Sports Illustrated.</p><br>
