Part travelogue, part historical evocation, part personal quest, and part reflection on the joys and perils of passage, "An Unexpected Light" is a remarkable, poignant book about Afghanistan, and a heartfelt reflection on the experience of travel itself. --From the publisher

...available here.
From the acclaimed chronicler of open spaces comes a stunning and lyrical evocation of a practically unknown place and people. Beginning in 1993, Ehrlich traveled to Greenland, the northernmost country in the world, in every season--the four months of perpetual dark, the four months of constant daylight, and the twilight seasons in between--traveling up the coast and befriending the resilient and generous Inuits along the way.

...available here.
This year's "Best American Travel Writing" is a far-flung collection chosen by travel writer extraordinaire Paul Theroux, who has selected pieces about "the spell in the wilderness, the letter home from foreign parts, the dangerous adventure, the sentimental journey, the exposé, the shocking revelation, the eyewitness report, the ordeal, the quest...," and concludes that "Travel is an attitude, a state of mind."
