Travel is no longer just adventure.
The Accidental Explorer's Guide to Patagonia - Putting it in a very trite way, its about an unbelievably beautiful place.
Canadian Gothic - Adds the dimension of local people(famous and everyday) to place known for its locale.
Travel can be by people driven with an agenda to understand a place, its people's struggles, even if the very first step is trouble.
Peter Hessler - Chasing the Wall - best
Mark Jenkins- The Ghost Road - best
A Fleet One - I would never guess, something on trucks could make it to this list.
Travel to places where story of a person at the same time reveals the nation's plight
Elizabeth Rubin - The Road to Herat
Kira Salak - Places of Darkness - saving mountain gorillas
Paul Salopek - Shattered Sudan
