Travel Translated Tyrell Heaton

This book will challenge your preconceived perceptions on place and allow you to form your own distinct understanding of what a particular place is like. It is not so much where you go and what to see, rather why you see it the way you do and how you can see and experience a place in different ways. The nuts and bolts of this book cover sense of place and how travel affects thought but more importantly why we want to be cognizant and have our thought be affected by place. Most tours, guidebooks, travelogues and websites are built for pleasure experiences and not reality-centered authentic experiences. Why not have both. Other travel books cover places and material over and over in the same way and lack geographic inquiry to fully convey sense of place. This is written from a geographer's perspective on the true sense of place.
