Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Adventures in going forth and staying put from one of our greatest travel writers</b><br><b></b><br>In vivid, urgent books such as <i>Terra Incognita</i> and <i>The Magnetic North</i>, Sara Wheeler reckoned with the allure and brutality of life on the fringes, exploring distant lands with an extraordinary sensitivity to history, to place, and to the people who inhabit them.<br><i> Access All Areas</i> collects the best essays and journalism by a writer who has used extreme travel as a means to explore an inner landscape. Ranging from Albania to the Arctic, Wheeler attends a religion seminar aboard the <i>Queen Elizabeth 2</i> and defrosts her underwear inside an igloo. She treks to distant Tierra del Fuego--"a place where nothing ever happened"--and to the swamps of Malawi, a place so hot that toads explode. She crosses dubious borders with nothing but a kidney donor card for ID and learns to wing walk and belly dance, though not at the same time.<br> Charming, scathing, restless, and eternally amused, the writer we meet in <i>Access All Areas</i> has spent a lifetime investigating roots and rootlessness. Seeking only to satisfy her own curiosity, Wheeler shows us the world.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Smashing . . . An informative and ultimately tragic tour of a region in the throes of drastic change." --<i>Dennis Drabelle, The Washington Post with praise for The Magnetic North</i></p><p>"Exceptional . . . With wry humor and extensive research, Wheeler captures a swiftly transforming region." --<i>Holly Morris, The New York Times Book Review with praise for The Magnetic North</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Sara Wheeler</b> is the author of several books of biography and travel, including <i>Travels in a Thin Country: A Journey Through Chile</i>, <i>Terra Incognita: Travels in Antarctica</i>, and <i>The Magnetic North</i>.<i> </i>She lives in London.
