Journey to the ends of the earth, to lands so remote and exotic they bring you to the very edge of enchantment... and human memory.
The five chapters of this book, with more than a hundred photographs and five maps, transport you to some of the planet's least-known places.
You'll travel with writer Patrick Booz and photographer Jeffrey Aaronson to the ancient kingdom of Muli, a mountain-girt land along the China-Tibet border seldom seen by Western eyes.
Then, Cynthia Ramsay and Maggie Steber unveil the legendary African city of Timbuktu, 14th century seat of wealth and learning, and go beyond it - to the outpost villages of the Dogon people along the Bandiagara cliffs of Mali.
Thomas O'Neill and Jay Dickman venture by packhorse, snowmobile, and four-wheel drive into the volcanic heart of Iceland, a nation gnarled by fire and ice into alien landscapes that beckon ' like a mysterious ruin.'
At another end of the earth, Tom Melham and Jay Dickman take you into the cloud-wreathed highlands of Venezuela, a region of flat-topped mountains so isolated.
Finally you'll set sail with Christine Eckstorm and Paul Chesley along Australia's Kimberley coast, so dangerous that only the hardiest sailors dare its uncharted waters.
Meet the people and share the adventures in lands fabled and fantastic.
