With wartime schooling in New Zealand, postwar schooling in Wales, and later University in Englands smog-bound Manchester, Travis had already travelled 14,000 miles by his 14th birthday! From studying a new and experimental 5 year Hons. Degree course in Town & Country Planning, his career was to lead on to developing Planning for Tourism as an even newer professional field. After a town planning career, climaxing in his first Planning Chair in Edinburgh, and then a later Urban Studies Research Chair in Birmingham, plus a Visiting Chair in Tourism in Glasgow, he made a worldwide contribution. From Consulting for the European Union, the UN World Tourism Organisation, and the Pacific Area Travel Association in places as varied as Poland, the Maldives, Michigan, and the Algerian Sahara, Travis has also lectured overseas regularly. In over 50 years of work, the stability has been given by his wife and family, aided by a global village of friends. A rich life that he can muse about in his 80s!

From the bestselling author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Sphere comes a deeply personal memoir full of fascinating adventures as he travels everywhere from the Mayan pyramids to Kilimanjaro. Fueled by a powerful curiosity—and by a need to see, feel, and hear, firsthand and close-up—Michael Crichton's journeys have carried him into worlds diverse and compelling—swimming with mud sharks in Tahiti, tracking wild animals through the jungle of Rwanda. This is a record of those travels—an exhilarating quest across the familiar and exotic frontiers of the outer world, a determined odyssey into the unfathomable, spiritual depths of the inner world. It is an adventure of risk and rejuvenation, terror and wonder, as exciting as Michael Crichton's many masterful and widely heralded works of fiction.

"Martijn Doolaard traded in the convenience of a car and the distractions of daily life for a cross-continental cycling journey: a biped adventure from Amsterdam to Singapore. Leaving behind repetitive routines, One Year on a Bike indulges in slow travel, the subtlety of a gradually changing landscape, and the lessons learned through travelling. Venturing through Eastern European fields of yellow rapeseed to the intimate hosting culture in Iran, One Year on a Bike is a vivid chronicle of what can happen when the norm is pointedly replaced by exceptional self-discoveries and beautiful sceneries. Doolaard shares the gear and knowledge that made his trip possible." -- Provided by publisher.

Step into the beauty, culture, history, and lifestyle of capital cities around the world through photography and short story. In this ode to capital cities, the Travel is Life Creators showcase 118 cities from every continent, including Antarctica! The best way to begin traveling a country is from its capital city. You can get anywhere from the capital. Capital cities are the melting pots of countries that bring their culture and people together from all walks of life. They are where countries unite and history happens. Capital cities are often overlooked and underappreciated on travel itineraries. They become a placemark on a map to catch a connecting flight or a destination in which to spend a night recovering from jet lag after leaving one time zone and entering another. There are countless travel books about where to go after the capital city... like the beaches, mountains, pueblos, wonders of the world, and everything in between. And don't get me wrong -- I love visiting those places and reading those books too. However, I wanted to create a book that explored the capital cities themselves, which are equally special, but don't always get as much attention. This book is my ode to capital cities, but since I've only been to tens of capital cities myself, I asked for help from my friends. In this book, a group of professional travel bloggers and I, collectively called Travel is Life Creators, have showcased 118 capital cities from every continent in the world (including Antarctica). Our mission was not to create a travel guide, but instead, to capture the culture, history, and lifestyle of capital cities through photography and short story. I hope that reading this book will allow you to step into each capital city through the eyes and lens of each photographer and writer so that you can see, hear, touch, taste, smell, and experience that city, even if just for a brief moment, before traveling to the next page.
