Paperback edition. ISBN: 9781592286454.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite demonstrates by example in this collection of more than a dozen essays that the\nfun, the drama, the craziness of exploration--internal and external--is a singularly\nimportant part of the human experience.\nWhite dives with great white sharks in South Africa, but his love and concern for his two sons, who are traveling with him, generates powerful and subtle undertones that carry\nthroughout the book, and makes this far more than a collection of travel-adventure narratives.\nWhite hangs out in Australia with the Crocodile Hunter, he writes about the late Peter Blake and the New Zealand sailing team, he jogs the Mayan ruins of Guatemala, and he battles\ninsects in his backyard garden. He’s the lead sledder for an entry in the U.S. toboggan\nchampionships, he explores Vietnam (and gets lost jogging in Hanoi)--and just as powerfully\nexplores what it’s like to reach middle age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lyons Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44687996026933,"sku":"ByrdShop_1592286453","price":37.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781592286454_39df43e0-bc3d-4b51-b1e7-a5c989db329b.jpg?v=1781076291","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/an-american-traveler-true-tales-of-adventure-travel-and-sport-9781592286454","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
