Americas

This funny and insightful journal of Jason Jones's solitary backpacking trip around the world on a budget of $40 a day explores the nighttime streets of Phnom Penh, the magnificent temples of Angkor Wat, a safari in deepest Africa, and the snowy slopes of Mount Everest. Armchair travelers are introduced to Chinese entrepreneurs who promote themselves to tourists visiting the Great Wall, to the gentle natives of Africa, and to the wise and generous friends who helped Jones learn Spanish in South America. This wide-eyed and earnest account of an amazing trek through 25 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America is perfect for anyone with a yen for adventure and a hunger for knowledge of the world beyond the borders of the United States.

Postcards from Paradise: Romancing Key West

Set in the Florida Keys in the years from 1909 till 1925, "The True Sea" tells the story of a boy growing into manhood against the drama of the construction of the Overseas Railroad. Henry Flagler's railroad, which ultimately linked Key West to the rest of America, promised the people of the isolated Florida Keys prosperity and access to the world beyond its sun-drenched shores. It did change the Florida Keys forever, but not necessarily in ways promised or expected. 
Here is a tale of the fascinating history of one of America's most spectacular and unique environments; of prohibition and rum-runners, of schooners and sailors and the islanders who depended upon them, of the plundering of the islands' natural resources, and of progress and growth, with its rich rewards as well as its heavy costs.

June Keith's Key West & The Florida Keys

Detailing life in tiny, artsy, anything-goes Key West—where Broadway composers and bestselling authors live on the same funky blocks as housekeepers, bartenders, and tour guides—this updated collection of essays and columns about island life features pieces that first appeared in the Miami Herald. Profiles of colorful characters such as an Italian heiress who waits tables, a dishwasher with a PhD, and a taxi-driving opera singer provide a kaleidoscopic portrait of residents living, working, and playing in a caste-free, rowdy paradise.
